Odds ‘n Sods:

From Reader RSR mentioned that Reliance Aqua-Tainer ^[1] seven gallon containers are presently on sale for $8 each at Wal-Mart stores. I just saw the same containers for $17 each at an REI store. And speaking of water containers, Walgreens pharmacies now have 25 ounce “Green Canteen” brand stainless steel water bottles on sale for $4 each. They are out of stock at their online stores, but many individual brick and mortar stores still have them on hand. OBTW, beware that they are made in mainland China.

We were sent two interesting, if impractical items from ImpactLab: a table that converts into a fort ^[2], and a house disguised as a woodpile ^[3]. Thanks to F.R. for the link.
