Today is Small Business Saturday [click to read]. My friend Lynn Mitchell says:

"Small businesses are critical to the nation’s overall economy. Over the past two decades, small businesses have generated 65% of net new jobs. Small businesses currently pay 44% of total U.S. private payroll."

Today, shop local.
