Odds ‘n Sods:

Dr. John Waterman will be hosting a two hour show on The Prepper Podcast [1] about herbal medicine. That show will air on Tuesday, December 14, 2010 from 8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Central Time.

I just noticed that Amazon.com has dropped the price of my book “How to Survive the End of the World as We Know It” [2] to just $6.98. This is their lowest price ever, so it would be a good opportunity to get a short stack, for Christmas presents. (Hint, hint.)

H1N1 virus returns, already claiming lives of 10 British adults with early signs that illness has spread to other European countries [3]. (Thanks to KAF for the link.)

F.G. sent this: Representative Carl Wimmer, R-Herriman [, Utah], wants to declare the Browning model 1911 .45-caliber pistol Utah’s state gun [4]. F.G.’s comment: “What’s not to like?

Also courtesy of F.G.: Top 10 States People Are Fleeing: New York, Illinois and Louisiana are expected to lose more residents than they gain this year [5]. Given California’s budget crisis, I suspect that California will soon join the list. Speaking of fleeing, I’ve had five different blog readers and consulting clients mention that they are making mid-winter relocations to Idaho or Montana. That sort of action only comes from strong conviction. This by the way parallels the recent moves by Chuck Baldwin’s entire extended family [6], also in the dead of winter, to Montana. Obviously, some folks are feeling the need to move, immediately.
