Sponsors | I've just received a sunny $20 donation

Arriving from a reader in Florida, their contribution brings me to within 93% of my quarterly goal -- closer than ever. With just nine days left to make $289, here's the breakdown:

• Reader donations: $1,343
• Advertising: $2,368

I'm trying to earn $4,000 quarterly, through donations of $5 per reader, plus advertising sales. Please use the "Donate" tool in the green rail, upper right. Or mail cash/checks payable to: Jim Hopkins, 584 Castro St. #823, San Francisco, Calif., 94114-2594.
