Odds 'n Sods:
I recently added a link for the Depression2 blog,
over at my Links
page. The blog aggregates some insightful commentary, mostly on economics
and investing. Check it out.

Bob at Ready
Made Resources mentioned that he is brokering the sale of a used
fully self-contained P10 underground blast/fallout/storm shelter. These shelters
sell for $100,000 new, but this one is used and selling for just $45,000 plus
shipping. It is an upgraded model with a Level 4 ballistic protection entry
hatch and
an oversize
water tank. It has been reconditioned (including fresh paint), but it needs
a new
set of
deep
cycle batteries. The P10 shelter is currently located in Texas. Call Bob for
details.

Some interesting tidbits on the ethanol mania from Kevin Kerr in a recent
issue of the free The
Rude Awakening e-newsletter: "Meanwhile, down in the land
of Dixie, they're actually trying to grow corn too, in cotton states like
Georgia.
It sounds crazy, as the climate
is completely wrong, but the allure of cashing in on that ethanol bonanza is
strong - almost like a new gold rush. How nuts has it gotten? I read early
in the year that an old orange juice processing plant in Florida was being
converted to an ethanol refinery. Equally crazy, it's actually possible to
get government subsidies to grow corn in Nevada - yes, Nevada."
