A little note about Selcos blog - if you aren't familiar with that time period in the Balkans literally it was like the end of the world for them. Imagine not only having all hell break loose and having to deal with critical shortages of everything but even worse the absolute non availability of critical goods, and ethnic militias. A favorite tactic of the militias was to send snipers into the opposing ethnic groups areas of the cities and shoot anything that moved. Little old ladies, dogs, anything.
When folks ask me questions on my blog about urban stuff Selco is the guy I send them to.
