Odds 'n Sods:
Sid mentioned the Space

Rookie found a link to an
interesting story about firearms ownership in Switzerland: An Armory
in Gun-Shy Europe.
Rookie's comment: "It's good to know that in at least one country
it's considered
normal to
keep
a
high
power
defensive rifle in your closet. And that the government
gives it to you for free, for life! Of course, it's no surprise that
the Washington Post spun the story to make it sound like the Swiss
want to get rid of them."

Reader Alfie Omega recommend the Backwoods
Home Magazine e-newsletter. I've been a fan of Dave Duffy's
writings ever since the first year that Backwoods Home was
published. It is a great magazine, well worth a subscription.

Aaron mentioned an article from MIT's
Technology Review, with more on the
U.S. Army's "Tactical Biorefinery", which was mentioned
once before in SurvivalBlog.
