Note: This is not an April Fool's Joke. I repeat, this is NOT and April Fool's Joke.

It is, however, the first of yet another month. Today I gave another small, paltry sum of money to OCF. I also sent people for cookbooks, shirts, etc. and I am buying my wife a bag.

Please, folks, do your part. If you saw someone out of gas on the side of the road, would you help them. Please support your neighborhood before it runs out of gas.

Thank you.
