dear colleagues

Well, perfect end to a fucked up decade......

Really exciting night!   Someone came pounding on my door to call me 
outside.   Turns out, someone has totaled my car while it was parked on 
the street for the night.

Why is this exciting?   Because I can't walk much at the moment and that 
car was vital to day to day survival.   I wonder how I'll manage to get 
groceries tomorrow.

Wait, it gets better.

Being poor, I'm fully paid up and current on lowest available rate 
insurance.   So, I called the claims number tonight and, an experience 
familiar from the open source world, the number is disconnected.

Watch us drown.

If anyone would like to help either please do so or pass this message 
along to someone sensitive who can.

Time is of the essence, if anyone happens to give a damn.
