Steve D. was the first of several readers to send this: Feds Raid Amish Milk Farm ^[1].

George J. spotted this bit on Nanny Statism news: N.J. town limits chicken hookups ^[2]. Here is a quote: “Hopewell Township residents can have up to a half-dozen hens on half-acre lots. Roosters would be allowed only 10 days a year for fertilization purposes.”

The annual book “Passport to World Band Radio” ^[3] is now out of print (sadly, the final edition was published in 2009) but I’ve found that The Shortwave Listener’s Guide web site ^[4] seems to be kept well up-to-date. I must say that there are times when I’m in the boonies that I really miss having current references like that in hard copy!

In the spirit of the Avalanche Cliff Jump ^[5] video that I recently posted, Troy H. sent me another fun video: Roller Suiting Down the Gothard Pass Road ^[6]. I wonder what the motorcyclists thought, as he passed them.

Jon B. in Georgia flagged a news story from Alabama that serves as a bit of confirmation on human nature: Looters pilfering through shattered homes; nighttime curfew imposed ^[7]
