October is a month of autumn leaves and Tubular Bells. And of course, the protein wisdom October fundraiser [sticky; new posts below; TUESDAY UPDATE; FINAL FRIDAY UPDATE]

If it helps, just pretend I’m a U.S.-based solar start-up, and you have no choice but to give.

Only I won’t insult you at the end of the day by showing off my whistling spa robots.

****
Tuesday update: A little under half-way home this month. Thanks to all who’ve contributed.

****
Friday update: I’ll leave this post up today and tomorrow, then it gets bumped back to its original posting date. I appreciate the support from those of you who’ve contributed and continue to contribute. You are a vanishing few, let me tell you. But so it goes in this economy. And — thanks to this President — I’m not really quite as entertaining or jolly as I once was, which I think doesn’t help much, either.

No worries, though. I see on the horizon better days — if only because once we abandon all hope for the America we once knew, life becomes completely surreal. And that’s my strong suit.

    By the way — in the last few days, since I’ve started Tweeting more regularly? I’ve actually begun losing followers.

    I’m like an online curse, incarnate.

    I’ve actually begun losing followers.

    Unsurprising. I’ve heard from Respectable Conservatives that you support ‘jokes’ about serious hostage situations and raping underaged girls. Most unhelpful — you’ll scare off the moderates with that sort of visigothery!

    Go Team R!

    Someday Jeff I’m gonna owe you a lot of money.

    sigh.

    If my condition is a microcosm of many small businesses (and an article in yesterday’s WSJ suggest it is) we’ve battened down that hatches, fired and trimmed as much as we can, and are attempting to ride this bitch out. I don’t think Obama, nor those idiots occupying wall street understand that when you – as a business owner – cut expenses, often that includes YOUR SALARY.

    How many hourly workers, union folks, would work for free – even for just a few hours – just to keep a business going? I’m guessing close to zero.

    With respect to the Friday update, I’m pretty sure the surreal life is already here. It may not have set up a permanent shop, but it’s looking for a place to break ground, and in the mean time is occupying a small office in a local strip mall.

    I never comment here. Not really a joiner, but I have read your site for years and deeply appreciate all you do to bring clarity to the murk. Plus, you crack me up:) Well done, Mr. G.
