My purse is nearly empty.

I have more to bring to Facelift than is easy or comfortable for me to lug.

I don't wish to try hitching, therefore, but cannot afford the bus.

If anyone has a bit of spare room in their ride and is coming thru Merced, I would like a lift.

PM me if it is doable and I can leave at any time you come thru Merced.

I'm forced to do this by circumstance, not whim or choice.

Thanks.

Hey MFM, got Paypal? I'll send you a few bucks to provide libations, and help you out if needed financially, at Facelift.

Wish I could be there in person.

If nothing else works, I'll be driving to The Valley sometime this afternoon and have plenty of room.

Brandon, my friend, bless you, too.

I don't really need the spondulix, as I have some postcards and things which I am hoping to sell when I get to the Facelift, and which should provide for necessities. Thanks. Maybe you could send a donation to the YCA instead.

I feel like this is getting all obituarial, with that last suggestion. :0)

Mouse,

How long do you intend to stay in the Valley? Hope to see you up there. I'll be arriving probably next Saturday or Sunday.

All done.

Plans of mice and men.

Up in flames one day.

Building anew the next.

Fred, our high-traversing amigo, is kind enough to come to my aid.

Looking forward to meeting up again and talking about "the fire next time."

WOO HOO, everybody.

I'm off to the rodeo!

And thanks again, Brandon, Barbarian, and Werner.
