Now approaching 100 active listings! There are some great retreat properties available at our spin-off site, SurvivalRealty.com. For example, one of the most recent ones is a 212-acre ranch property in Montana that would be ideal for a group or extended family retreat. In addition to the main house, it has a commercial kitchen, four cabins, two bunkhouses, and a yurt. Full length ads at SurvivalRealty are just $30 per month, and there are no commissions charged.

More Bloomberg Nanny State Nuttery: New York City proposes ban on sale of oversized sodas. Perhaps next on Bloomberg’s agenda will be a banning “high capacity” triple-scoop ice cream cones and giant Toblerone bars. (The latter would be import banned and classified as Weapons of Mass Ingestion. The pre-ban chocolate bars would only be available after a background check, fingerprinting, and a $200 transfer tax.) And what about those 24-packs of Krispy Kreme donuts? Clearly, only trained law enforcement professionals should be trusted with those.
Jim’s Quote of the Day:
“In the brief span of my lifetime, we have gone from a nation where kids could order a .22 [caliber rifle] in the mail (with their parents’ permission) and go to Sears and buy a kit for casting their own lead toy soldiers to a nation where they are protected from ‘dangerous clothing’ [with drawstrings] and would be expelled from school for drawing a picture of a toy soldier.” – Tamara, Editor of the View From The Porch blog
