I was told that Ready Made Resources [1] (one of our most loyal advertisers) has just received a large shipment of U.S. Army surplus battle dressings. These are typical Carlisle type dressings, but in the latest mil spec packaging. (Very tough and waterproof.) The size is 8″ x 7-1/2″ They are marked “Dressing, First Aid, Field, Camouflage” and were manufactured by Ellwyn, Inc. (“Red color indicates back of dressing, put other side next to wound….”) NSN 6510-00-201-7430. They will have about 500 available and will be selling them for just $2.50 each. Buy a bunch!

Rourke [2] flagged this piece from MSN Money: U.S. Housing Boom is Now a Bust. [3] Rourke notes: “Well, if you use ‘gangbuster’ 2004 and 2005 as base years, it’s going to look bad, yes. In 61 of 275 cities prices go down – gee that’s not as bad as I thought, honestly. I think we’ve forgotten what a real bust actually is. In an election year though, you can count on the media to trump this up.”
