Sponsors | I just got $5 from a mysterious donor

Mysterious, because it came via snail mail in an envelope with no return address. The postmark says it was sent from somewhere in Michigan. Thank you, whoever you are!

To hit my quarterly goal, I try to earn a little more than $1,300 a month. With just a week before the end of January, here's the breakdown of the $805 I've received so far:

• Reader donations: $221
• Advertising: $584

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