Odds 'n Sods:
Frank in Arizona wrote to ask me how much longer Front Sight's "Get
a Gun" training
and gear package offer will still be available. From what I've heard, it
won't be very long, since Front Sight is running this promotion at near their
cost. Don't
dawdle
on
this
and
miss
out,
folks! I
can't
think of a better purpose for your upcoming Federal tax "economic stimulus" check.
Those
checks
(for up to $1,200
per married couple) will
be
mailed
out starting
in
May,
so
you might want to employ your credit card, in advance! If Nancy Pelosi and Chuck
Schumer only
knew
what you were planning to do with that check!

Reader David A. mentioned a new personal
digital radiation monitor. It is the Ludlum's
Model 25. David notes: "The range for the Model
25 is .01mR/hr to 1999 R/hr, it is the size of a cell phone, making it perfect
for anyone who wants to know when to evacuate or head to a shelter. There
is a maximum allowed dose timer to 50R. The unit costs $495."

G-7
Signals Concern on Dollar's Slide, Weaker Growth (Speaking of which, watch
the US
Dollar Index closely in coming weeks. As I've mentioned before, analysts
note that 72 is currently the magic number. If the USD Index cannot hold 72,
then we can expect more market turmoil, and substantially higher precious metals
prices.)
