Odds 'n Sods:
Cheryl N. sent us a link to an article over at Stan Deyo's web site that indicates
that the
freeze-dried storage food shortage is now even more severe than was previously
reported:
Mountain
House
Out of #10 Cans Through 2009. Most Mountain House dealers have sold completely
out,
and
a are refusing to take back orders for # 10 cans. Meanwhile, Walton
Feed has
temporarily suspended taking new Internet orders, presumably so they can catch
up on their order backlog.
OBTW,
the folks
at
Ready Made Resources tell
me that
they still have a few #10 cans of Mountain
House
freeze
dried
foods
"in captivity." Call them immediately, if you want any of
the following: Instant White Rice, Beef Teriyaki with Rice, Lasagna with Meat
Sauce, Sweet and Sour
Pork with Rice, Oriental Style Chicken, Mac and Cheese, Sliced
Strawberries, Eggs with Real Bacon, Sweet Peas, Green Beans, or Super Sweet Corn.
Their quantities still on hand are extremely limited, so don't hesitate!

The every cheery Ambrose Evans-Pritchard offers this economic analysis:
The
global economy is at the point of maximum danger. (Thanks to Trent C. and
"Wolf" for
the link.) And speaking of bad news, don't miss this commentary by Jim Jubak:
The
huge threat to the US economy. (Thanks to Micah for finding the latter.)

For the next couple of weeks, the folks at SurvivalRing are offering an
expanded set of their reference CDs, which includes two extra CDs,
and a DVD data disk of their entire file sets. Enter the password "patriot" to get the special discount price. The regular price for
their two CD set was $40. For this special, they've knocked
off $5
off the price, and they have almost quadrupled the data of
PDF and HTML documents. I highly recommend getting a set for your reference
library. And even if you decide not to get a set of their CDs, you should still
check out their large library of free manuals and other resources.
