Well… this is lovely. Limped home last night with a flat from just around the corner. Probably shouldn’t have done that.
The pickup is down for the count. Right rear tire acts like it’s locked up.
Yep, still unemployed. The lovely wife is still disabled and unable to work. Sold her vehicle and, naturally, now mine is down.
On the bright side, it is a sunny day here along America’s North Shore.
This magazine is maintained by one person, one unemployed person. Me.
It has been nearly a year, and all of my expenses continued and my income did not. On the bright side, I was home when my lovely wife needed nursing after her heart attack and strokes. And I was here as our dear Patches fought, and passed, and our darling Sarah came into our lives.
This month’s health insurance is $800. We obviously need the insurance. I do not have the money. I’m cutting expenses, and the next one up will have to be Time Warner’s internet. That means that this magazine may go under within a month.
If you feel that you have received some value from this site in the last year, would you please donate five or ten dollars via the PayPal widget in the upper left? I’m not asking for much, just what value you’ve received from this work over the last twelve months. Please.
My basic resume is here. My complete resume is here. As the many items in this magazine will attest, I am a hard worker. Let me know if you have something I could do.
