Reader Paul B. mentioned The Photographer’s Ephemeris [2]. Paul’s description: “This is a free application that, although designed for photographers, would seem to have many uses for people hunting, fishing, or otherwise engaged in outdoor activities, [including the tactical variety.] Basically, you put in the date and your location and it pops up a google map showing you the direction of sunrise/sunset/moonrise/moonset, time for twilight (civil, nautical, astronomical). Also does some other things like compute distance and bearing, shadow length. It might be also useful for people doing considering a property purchase who are interested in how the sun will rise and set on the property, et cetera.

News from across the pond: At the mercy of the deep freeze: Schools shut, firms hit… now another six inches of snow [3]. (Some of the Nanny State Dependency mentality is showing. It is time for folks to become better prepared individually, and more self-reliant!Our thanks to Ferdinand for sending the link.)

“Ski” Jim mentioned another notable home invasion robbery, in Colorado [4]. Don’t become complacent, thinking that this only happens in big cities on the coasts.
