Repay, Do Not Forget

There are people doing good all over the place.

Stephen King

Wealthy pensioners

And in my hometown, the Heat Fund is raising bucks to help folks who run out of heating fuel over the winter. If you can contribute, even five dollars, it helps. Every cent goes directly to buying heating fuel, this is all volunteers who do it for the doing:
Windham County Heat Fund
679 Weatherhead Hollow Rd
Guilford, VT 05301
And there are some who are facing payback and finding it's a bitch.
Like James Murdoch:

And the Tea Party:

It's another very foggy morning in the mountains. This is my last day at Strider's house. I'm gonna do some cooking so she doesn't have to think over the weekend. And I need to finish packing up.

There is no news about The Shire. Though I just learned that the DRB didn't even go see the site they're talking and voting on. There's something very wrong and unusual in how they're handling this.

Ah well, the business day has just started. Let's see what it brings.

Fingers and toes crossed for a sudden dose of sanity to make an appearance.

Thanks Lawless! There's always the outside chance!

Sanity?

Brattleboro?

Isn't that kinda oxymoronic?

We can dream, can't we?

Hey, as Judy Tenuto used to say, "It could happen!"
