Sponsors | I just got a $50 donation!

That gift came from a reader in Iowa, and puts me within 91% of my quarterly goal -- the closest I've ever come. With just 10 days to go, here's the breakdown:

• Reader donations: $1,323
• Advertising: $2,334

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.
