I found the Emergency Kits at Wired very interesting. We are always prepared, but the Kevlar gloves are something I had not thought of. There were several other little things that were not on my list. I guess I need to update. Also I used all my plastic sheeting so I need to replace it.
Thanks for sharing.
My brain is exploding from all that.
Hi Debbie. I'm glad you're going to update your emergency kit. We all need to be ready for the next perpetual, multifront, planetary war!
Hi Renegade Eye! Thanks for visiting! You're right the reading list is a little heavy. Top 5 suggestions:
1. "Graffiti from the Man"
2. "Colonel Hammes Enters the Fifth Generation"
3. "The (Not So) Eagerly Modern Saudi"
4. "The Making of a Terrorist"
5. "Londonistan Calling"
Bonus: The Assimilated Negro's "Funny Movie Trailers" are hillarious.
Next Sunday my reading list shall be more discriminate.
