Randy in Utah mentioned to me that Dan’s Ammo [1] currently has a great deal on brand new, unissued Hensoldt Z24 scopes with STANAG claw mounts, in the original military carry cases [2]. These are $375 each, postage paid. Once this batch of Z24 scopes at Dan’s is gone, I’m fairly certain that they will jump back up to the normal market price of around $600 each.

Cliff C. alerted us to this article: IBM and Tekvet team to remotely track and monitor the health of millions of cattle [3]. One would hope that this doesn’t get integrated with the NAIS program or applied to more nefarious purposes…

Reader “Alfie Omega” reminded us that there are a lot of great articles on photovoltaics, wind power and micro-hydro, all available for free download at the Home Power [4] magazine web site [5]. They also have useful Glossary [6], and their Renewable Energy Resources Directory [7] is a great way to find alternate energy system supplier that is local to your area. Needless to say, I also recommend subscribing to Home Power magazine.
