    Odd, I used to make blue prints, the trick was make them so no one could read them. Also make them so they don't work. For example Ram 28.3750 Dia. goes in Ram housing Bore 28.2500

    I just finished reading The Unthinkable by Amanda Ripley, if you liked Deep Survival you will like this book. She looks at the behavior of people in a disaster situation and interviews the people who lived it. This is the best book i have read on the subject yet.

    Well I like reading fantasy novels, and I just picked up the The Rise of Solamnia series by Douglas Niles. I'm hoping to read all three on my days off over Thanksgiving.

    This one I highly, fervently recommend: "North to the night" by Alvah Simon. He and his wife sail up into the Arctic and plan to spend the winter there, frozen into the ice, on the boat. His wife ends up having to leave and he then spends the whole winter (no daylight) by himself. Really interesting what he writes about the effects of endless months alone and the darkness. It is a truly beautifully written book that you can't put down, and he also makes the land, the animals and the people come alive.
    Maybe put it on your Christmas wish list?!

    I'm reading "Hot,Flat, and Crowded" by Thomas L. Friedman, It's about how the convergence of too many people, and not enough resources, and global warming are going to screw us all.

    Also "Cadillac" Desert by Marc Reisner. It's about water policy in the western U.S and about how it already screwed us all into debt and caused uncountable environmental damage to the river sheds of the western U.S.

    Castner's Cutthroats is an interesting book (IMHO) about the 1st Alaskan Combat Intelligence Platoon (Provisional), also known as Alaskan Scouts. The book talks about some of their missions and some of the specific survival skills they employed to live through those missions.
