The Death Knell for eBay Blogs!
I read this week on the announcement boards that eBay is pulling the plug on one facet of its attempt at social networking - eBay Blogs.

Yosemite? Yellowstone? Whatever!
The Sept/Oct 2009 issue of Scouting Magazine features the 1960 Yosemite Area JSP (provided by Kelly Williams) but states, "You might recognize its most-prominent element?if you happened to visit Yellowstone Park prior to 1969: The Wawona Tree." Uh, fellas, that would be Yosemite National Park. The online version has been corrected. LOL
Did You Miss the PatchBlanket?
After the PatchBlanket got hacked, it took several weeks to get back online. I checked daily to see if it was up, then went on to my other favorite (non-patch trading) forums. It seemed like Jason's 2009 NOAC blog took the place of the forum in terms of patch news and commentary, but of course there's no discussion aspect....Read More

All the guys of ISWA chapter in Elk campsite seemed to be trading and since my dad sent me to camp with a small bag of patches, I jumped in and never looked back....
