Responsive Web Design with HTML5 and CSS3, Second Edition

Combine media queries or write them where it suits?

I'm a fan of writing media queries underneath the original 'normal' definition. For example, let's say I want to change the width of a couple of elements, at different places in the style sheet, depending upon the viewport width I would do this:

.thing {
    width: 50%;
}

@media screen and (min-width: 30rem) {
    .thing {
        width: 75%;
    }
}

/* A few more styles would go between them */

.thing2 {
    width: 65%;
}

@media screen and (min-width: 30rem) {
    .thing2 {
        width: 75%;
    }
}

This seems like lunacy at first. We have two media queries that both relate to when the screen has a minimum width of 30rem. Surely repeating the same @media declaration is overly verbose and wasteful? Shouldn't I be advocating grouping ...
