A few random thoughts……..

• Guest Post Writing Contest – Next contest will start the beginning of October. If you would like to participate and share an experience  your knowledge, thoughts, review of equipment, etc. start writing now. I am securing prizes now – looks to be a good one.

• I have recently started doing some grocery shopping at ALDI’s. If you have one in your area – check it out. Very, VERY good prices. I continue to be amazed at the prices skyrocketing at grocery stores and hear little fuss about it on the news. To be honest – I don’t hear much complaining from friends either. I guess people just accept it and do what they can. I am looking at getting into coupons again which I stopped a year ago due to a lack of time.

• Found that frequent contributor and commentor Bev has written a series of guest posts over at rethinksurvival.com -

• I see Ryan over at http://tslrf.blogspot.com/ recently changed the design of his site. I really like it and as usual Ryan has some good things to say.

• I have written about my efforts in the direction of health and fitness – especially involving Crossfit. My efforts continue and as I look back over the last several months I am really impressed with its effectiveness. I also am into my 4th week of a total diet change. I am now following a diet regimen that many Crossfitters follow called Paleo (or sometimes called the Caveman Diet). I will be writing a post all about Crossfit and Paleo soon. In the 4 weeks I have been doing Paleo I have dropped 15 pounds. I see the fat dropping each week – its great.

• Politics can be so frustrating – and should be nowadays regardless of which”side” you are on. I am on the American side and I suspect that if you gathered 10 people in a room – 5 liberals and 5 conservatives and asked general questions which involve government they would likely agree on more than they disagree. Amazingly both parties speak to want more job creation, lower debt, higher wages, lower gas prices, and family values. Gee – I wonder why it doesn’t happen? No – I really don’t wonder as i know the answer – or at least part of it. Corruption. Plain and simple.
