An update from the bald guy.

Well, the vehicle is pretty much a lost cause. Therefore, I am going to put the generous donations that you all have shared with us into getting another vehicle. It won't be anything like this one. It will probably be 20+ years old. But, whatever it ends up being, it will be better than something that does not go.

I also received my first bit of hate email. I am not sure what the deal is, but someone decided to send one with an insulting phrase in it. I was kind wondering if something like this was going to happen, as we have lurkers around here all the time and some of them are basically bastards who want to start trouble because they think they are 'screwing over the libs'.

Whatever, dude. Things are bad enough all around without their dumb asses trying to create problems because they find it funny.

It was not sent through the DU in any way... although the DU is the only place I have asked people for help.

the person had to be a member and not just a lurker to e-mail you. I am probably wrong. Maybe someone can correct me.

It's a PITA to be without one. Public transportation around here isn't that great unless you're going to or from downtown, and Uber is too expensive to use very often. I'm very sorry you got a nasty email from someone, and I hope it wasn't someone from here. Good luck, and let us know how you're doing.
