But that ismy wife and I have suffered quite a few medical and other expenses lately, They continue to stack up and we are each scheduled for surgery.

I have just gotten a gofundme page up, and, though there are some quirks I need to iron out, but I am pretty satisfied with it. I am not asking here for any donations, but would like you to go by and check it out ... and share with your friends. Part of me has a negative vibe about this type of funding ... leaving me feeling somewhat embarrassed. But I've got to try.

Now, here is the maudlin - even sappy - part:

I think that most everybody has had negative and positive experiences here. I know I have But I want you guys to know that even though I kind of stay within my own little genre, as it were, you have all meant a lot to me.

We have all got a lot to do in the coming months an years and we are all going to have to stick together, but that is what we do. And I am pretty sure that there is somebody around here that kne that health care was complicated. Because we are like really smart persons.

Oh, I almost forgot, the gfm site is on and at http://www.gofundme.com/fallsurg


See ya' later

7. Thanks - here is a little ditty I just shook out

I originally posted this in a thread on GD about the United States Geological Service:


O-O-Oklahoma where the fracking rumbles with the plains:
Where the waving wheat would sure smell neat
If it’s scent wasn’t drowned out by metha-a-a-ane
I know I’d belong to the land
If the land didn’t shake me where I sta-a-a-nd

O-O-Oklahoma!
O-O-Oklahoma!
You’re really fracked Oklaho-o-oma!
Oklahoma’s O-K
L – A – H – O – C –H – 4
OKLAHOMA ‘ s that way!
