It's been a long time since we've had a bleg. I always hate to ask. I feel like I'm promising to gladly pay you Tuesday for a donation today.

Still, the Burg costs money to run. Software's mostly free, but the hosting company charges us, and we have hardware costs. We've got the server in Baltimore and a backup server that currently lives in my bedroom. My beloved Lenovo laptop, that I use to try and stay connected if I'm traveling or in the hospital, gave up the ghost this summer. And then there's the cost of beer and gin...

I try to keep the blegging to a minimum, but every once in a while I have to. So if you've got it, please help keep us going. We've been around longer than most, and with your help we'll be around longer than even more.

#15  Fred, thanks so much for what you do. You will be getting my humble amount of sheckles via the donate button at the bottom right hand corner of R-Burg. I always worry a bit about using the internet to carry on any transactions.

#7  "Hope the new job is going well BB."

Closer to "Moscow Rules" everyday. Not quite denied but the cousins aren't taking any chances. We are the away team and the home side plays for keeps.
