Fundraising Update
A few weeks ago, I invited regular readers of this website to donate to help underwrite some expenses, hoping to raise about $1,000 in six weeks. So far, I received donations totaling just over $200. Some of the money has been used to pay for an enhanced version of the publishing software, allowing us to publish ad-free, and also to handle pictures and graphic images. As donations continue to come in, I expect to move this site to a new server and easier-to-remember domain name, and set up the system so additional writers from across the state can contribute to it. And stories and commentary will be grouped by subject matter rather than the current all-on-one-page approach. I also plan to add an automated daily and weekly newsletter to the site and other features.

You can help by donating via the Amazon "tip jar" over on the right-hand column of the page, or by emailing me at bhhobbs -at- comcast.net for my mailing address. You may also support the ongoing operation of this site by shopping online here for your vitamins, nutritional supplements and other products. A bonus: purchases on that site are exempt from the Tennessee sales tax. You'll save nearly $2.70 on a $30 purchase. That's $2.70 Don Sundquist can't spend - and $2.70 you CAN spend. Boo hoo for Don. Yay for you.

Thanks for your support.
