I Ordered My ARRL Ham Radio License Manual

A Fine From the TSA… I Should Have Expected It…
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…

Life.
Well, this may have nothing to do with suburban survival, or survivalism as we define it in general. But, I found out tonight, my neighbor in NJ died from cancer. She was older, yes. But a very, very , very nice person. She lived with her son and his wife next door…

Mike Rowe On on Lamb Castration, PETA, and American Labor

Storing Your Bug Out Gear in the City
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 never took…
