All the way through to the other side.

Any idea what that is? No? It's a latilla, one in a section of fencing on the north side. That hole? Was created entirely by one being, a woodpecker. And if you look closely, you'll see that little tan spec near the bottom of the hole. That's where his beak drilled all the way through to the other side.

Yeah, you thought this was gonna be a metaphor about looking for the light, didn't you? But it's about persistence, because right now? We've all got a long hard road ahead of us, and it's going to take persistence and unselfishness to get all the way through to the other side. Colonial, capitalistic fearmongers, profiteers, and greedy hoarders, I'm looking at YOU. Not kindly, either.

We still have about four more things to do before we can go to ground for good for a month or so. Most can't be handled until next Monday and Tuesday, although I had hoped we could be done by the end of today. Nope. And now, having had to divert such a huge percentage of available funds to preparation for what's to come, and to helping other folks be able to do the same, we have got to bring in more income. 

Because the bills still have to get paid, and no one's offering to whack our monthly payments for utilities and the medical loan and other stuff. Capitalism is alive and well and taking full advantage, so I have GOT to bring in more income. On top of the pressures that accompany Wings's dental work, it's going to be costly for other reasons. Between the tow and the garage bill, we had to shell out $700 cash that I had already allocated for other expenses. That's $700 on top of the regular bills for the month, most of which are due this week. Another $300 for medical and prescription costs already this week. There was another $350 yesterday we weren't expecting (someone here who needed help badly), and some of that we will get back, either in repayment or in kind, but probably not for a long while, and it's still a HUGE hit out the door at once, in cash. And a couple of other folks who needed help. So I have to make up well into four figures' worth fast, which means I've got to start bringing in some scratch from sales, subscriptions, everywhere and anywhere I can, especially since we don't have a fix on Wings's recovery time from all this slated for next week. We'll have a major new piece up tonight, so please share it, because we need help to make sales. The links are here:
Please share everything. Thanks.
