Yes, when I tried to contribute this morning mine wouldn't go through. I called my credit union, and had to get a special pass for the day because it's international. Also, my credit union won't let me send money to California, Florida or New Yord because there's so much fraud there.

I teared up when you said this. It is a beautiful thing to say. I used to have hobo friends too.

A friend of mine said to me "I really wish my mom and her sister would stop riding the rails." After I stopped laughing, he said "that's not a joke." His ma had retired, and wanted a little adventure, so she was literally out riding around on the rails.

I kind of admire people who can live like that. I'm not sure I could. I sort of need a bed.

IKR. As a kid I couldn't buy BBs in the city. So I stocked up when we went to visit that uncle in the sticks in Central California.

Will our Beloved Leader tire of being snubbed and send the armed forces to whatever socialist hellhole that makes the Noble Prizes and just take them? Or maybe he will buy the factory for a small fee and then he can decide who gets one. Or maybe he'll just keep them all!
