Thanks so much to everyone buying from Amazon through the LRC widgets and banners. Our commission--up to 8.5%--is based on the number of items shipped each month.   One reader said she uses music downloads as an inexpensive  way to boost the number of items shipped. Thanks to her, and to all the readers who bought items via Amazon. Here are some of my favorites over the last week: a Leather Gun Vest for concealed carry; a Garmin GPS and heart monitor you wear on your wrist; Red Yeast Rice to take instead of statin drugs;  anti-Obama bumper stickers: and a Disaster Preparedness Survival Kit.  The most popular book in the last week was JFK and the Unspeakable:  Why JFK Died and Why It Matters, by James W. Douglass.
