A gun buyback program in Chicago has been used to supply firearms and ammunition for a youth NRA summer camp. Here is the article I saw about it. I thought it was a really great idea that these guys had. The Chicago police were not amused though. :)

I know we have some gardners here, and I could use some help. We have a ton of beautiful tomatoes...except for the black spots they keep getting on the bottom. My mom said that she thinks it is called "tomato rot", but she didn't know how to fix it. I don't want to lose my whole crop I was...

Okay, so money is tight this year so my husband and I decided to go with practical gifts. I would like to get him something survival related that maybe he can throw in his BOB. Any ideas?
