Sponsors | From somewhere out there: $20

There wasn't a return address on the envelope I got yesterday, nor a readable postmark. But I could definitely read the note inside from a contributor: "Wish I could send you $37.1 million, but this will have to do for now. Keep up the great work."

Thanks!

With advertising sales, that gift brings me to 59% of my quarterly goal. The breakdown:

• Reader donations: $681
• Advertising: $1,666

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