Oh, BTW, about the bike thing. It seems I don't quite have enough money for the down payment! I had planned on using some of the "substantial" funds in my well diversified portfolio of penny stocks....but due to my numerous bad choices in when I bought and sold certain stocks in the last couple of weeks, I now am down at least 90% for the year! Now I know some of you are thinking "Man, this is sad, there must be some way I can help this guy out!" And guess what, there is! What I need is about $1,000, that's all, just $1,000. So, I figure from what I have read on various folders, there are some very wealthy individuals here at SI who have enjoyed reading my posts over the years. Here's what you can do. I am too concerned about the possible inconvenience caused by posting my mailing address here, but you could go to one of those "portals" and use the "find people" search feature to get my mailing address. It's no secret that I live in the metropolitan Atlanta area, and my area code is 770. I know for a fact there are no other Hubert Fews in my vicinity, so, I have narrowed the search for you! All contributions must be in money order form payable to Hubert Few, yes, that's my real name. And PLEASE don't put your name on it anywhere, I would feel like that was charity, of which I have never accepted a dime in my whole life! If I get more than $1,000 I will use the excess to buy expensive whiskey and possibly replace the timining belt on my exotic imported car (a 92 Hyundai Excel). If I still have any money after that, I am going to figure out how to mount a video camera on my helmet and host a "Hubert Cam" site, where you can tune in everyday and join me on my commute to work! Of this part I am dead serious. So, any of you big hearted entrepenuers (sp?) out there, go for it, if you want to make a business deal, I will give you advertising space on the Hubert Cam web site! Cheers!

Oh, one last thing....I don't want anyone to feel badly or anything, but if I can't raise the $1,000 by Thursday, I am going to sell my computer. Then the only way I could post at SI would be to either go to the library or while I was at work. The later would be a violation of company policy which could lead to my dismissal....no work, no commute, no Hubert Cam, simple as that! Think about it folks, I need your help! Who would you rather give money to, some undernurished potbellied kid who will probably starve anyway, or someone who is promising to give you day after day of internet viewing whilst I split lanes? (which technically is illegal in Georgia). Ghandi, Jesus, and Jim Henson understood destiny....do you? Cheers!
