Remember that little post I wrote a month or so ago about my morning at Newark Airport?  Well about 30 days ago, I get a letter in the mail from the TSA.  What did it say you might ask?  Well, they imposed a $250.00 civil penalty against me.  I am assuming this paid for the [...]

When I worked in NYC (post 9/11), I was always wondering how I was going to store any type of gear to get me across two rivers into NJ to my apartment, so I could bug in or bug out if the SHTF and the bridges and tunnels were shut down.  I decided on, but [...]

I saw this on TheSurvivalistBlog.net yesterday, but only Part One was listed on the site.  I watched it, and this made so much sense to me I found parts one and two and wanted to share with you.  Mike Maloney discusses inflation, deflation, and more and quite probably pisses everyone in the conference room off, [...]
