http://forums.gunboards.com/  If you are inclind to be interested in firearms check out this site.

http://www.minneapolisfed.org/index.cfm  So your dad only paid $50 for that curio back in 1955.  See how much that really cost him in today's money!  (The answer is $406 - so I hope it was something really nice!)


http://www.nationalreview.com/  For thinking, rational, right thinking people.

http://120.138.21.35/gwit-flash/?lang=en&hl=en_US   So you think you are a marksman (or woman)?   Give this a try.


http://mojaveroad.blogspot.com/   My favorite off road journey in California

http://iwl.me/  "I write like this"   It says I write like Steven King.  Unfortunately for Steven King, he writes like like H.P. Lovecraft.  Go figure.

  1. I played with the one about who you write like. I got 2 people I hadn't heard of and JK Rowling. Each time I copied a different blog post. I'm thinking it might be randomly generated, especially if Steven King doesn't write like Steven King! But still fun. If I'm ever published I hope I write like JK Rowling! And sell books like her!
