As you all know, it's been an incredibly tough year for a lot of people as a result of a very active tornado season.

I don't usually come here and ask for anything, but I'm helping put together a relief trip to Joplin, since the town pretty much disappeared. We're working with local authorities to get what's needed most, and we have several generators already together - but we need money for the fuel to run them enough to be worthwhile (we anticipate about 200 gallons of fuel over time). We're also gathering the usual supplies - first aid, clean clothes, shoes, blankets, protective gear for clean up, tools, tarps, food, etc.

That's why I'm here.

I know you are all good guys, and as much as I'd like to front the whole thing on my own, I can't. I'm hoping that you will think it worth a few bucks - every bit helps and gets us closer to being able to make an impact for these people. I get not wanting to ship crap to me, and I sure as hell can't come pick things up - so if you have gift cards lying around for Walmart, Target, grocery stores, sporting goods, home improvement, and so on lying around, or if you feel comfy sending funds via PayPal - please let me know.

I know this isn't the usual stuff that comes here, and I know I risk getting shut down - but I also thought it worth the risk.

Thanks, y'all.
