Odds ‘n Sods:

Michael G. recommended a Peak Oil comic strip: ROME DIDN’T COLLAPSE IN A DAY

Justice Drags her feet in Ohio: Lakewood woman’s lawsuit forces police to return confiscated firearms.

Regulations Threaten School Tornado Shelters in Alabama. A bureaucratic nightmare! ( A hat tip to Timothy J. for the link.)

Brett G. sent this: Michigan Hunter Kills 220-Pound Black Bear During Attack

And, speaking of hunting, J. McC. sent this: Salisbury man banned from hunting worldwide. The North Carolina court’s jurisdiction in say, Zambia (or Colorado, for that matter), is questionable. Parenthetically, this reminds me of how some of my old sci-fi convention friends were “Banned from Denny’s” after too much hilarity late one night. They were told by an enraged waitress that they were “banned from all Denny’s restaurants.” This unenforceable ban became so legendary that there was even a filk written about it. (And then there were the spin-off filks, like Banned from Argo. Or did that come first?) But in any case, I wasn’t there that night. Honest.
