08:00 – Well, I don’t much like Obama, but at least it seems he’s finally taking steps to de-militarize local police departments. The federal government will no longer distribute military-grade equipment, including tracked armored vehicles and weapons of 50 caliber and higher, and will recall those it has already distributed. It’s far too little far too late, but at least it’s a start. Not that I’m in favor of disarming the police, but ordinary revolvers and shotguns are more than sufficient police armament, along with a few ordinary scoped hunting rifles in well-trained hands for special circumstances.
Barbara labeled hundreds more bottles yesterday, which I’ll be filling this week. I’ll get several more cases of bottles on order today so she’ll have hundreds more to label next weekend. The goal is to have sufficient chemicals bottled by 1 July for 250 chemistry kits and 150 biology kits, which should suffice to carry us through July/August and beyond.
10:38 – Interesting article on Pat Henry’s prepping website about the ages of people who visit his site.
For the last two years May 13 to May 15 (over 6.2 million views)
27% of the total Views were from people aged 55-older (Boomers)
40.95% of the total Views were from people aged 35 – 54 (Generation X)
31.1 % of the total Views were from people aged 18 -34 (Millennials)
Like Pat, I was surprised by the age breakdown. I would have expected a huge majority to be 30 or older and almost none in the 25 and under range. And apparently 0.95% of his visitors are < 18 years old.
