Preparedness Notes for Monday — November 8, 2021

Today would have been the 107th birthday of actor/director/producer Norman Lloyd. He passed away on May 11, 2021. He was born November 8, 1914. His final film role was in the movie Trainwreck, filmed when he was 100 years old. It was released in 2015.  Our condolences to his family.

We are running low on entries for the current round of the SurvivalBlog non-fiction writing contest. If you have an article that you started writing but haven’t finished, then please do so. More than $725,000 worth of prizes have been awarded since we started running this contest. Round 97 ends on November 30th, so please  e-mail us your entry. Remember that there is a 1,500-word minimum, and that articles on practical “how-to” skills for survival have an advantage in the judging.

Today, another review authored by our own Pat Cascio.
