A Kind of inside FYI

As you might know I finally broke down and picked up a cell phone during the trip to Washington on the bus last week. This is a silly inside baseball fyi to people who know me well enough to have that number.

If you have my cell number you have my home number too. DIAL THE HOME NUMBER. I never turn on my cell nor do I take it with me. It’s only function is to be with me if I go on a trip.

If you can’t reach me by the home number, e-mail me. My hits and e-mails have increased to the point where I don’t dare ignore my mail for any length of time. Even when I dead sick the 2nd think I did was to check the e-mail.

If both fail then go ahead and call, when I check the messages on the cell I’ll get back to you ASAP.

Some Photos from the Bus and from Washington

Here is the last batch of photos from the Tea Party events and from the Train Ride home. My great thanks to Robert Stacy McCain who took me down to the station very early in the morning.

You know we really have a beautiful country and there is something special watching it go by in a train.

I’ve spent the last 20 hours or so shivering with fever…

…bringing up everything I eat and drink, and doing a fair impersonation of a confederate soldier with his favorite disease. (After all it’s confederate history month).

Believe it or not my wife is even worse shape (different but worse) so regular posting will resume when it no longer hurts to look at the screen.

Meanwhile let me give you the video of the cab driver that both Barbara and I commented on this weekend. If the tea party people are wise they will have him speak.

This man is amazing.

An Actual tip Jar request

Well here comes the bleg…

I owe debts of gratitude to Stacy McCain, Barbara Espinosa for their assistance in Washington. I owe a particular debut to Andrea Shea King who helped out a total stranger on the word of someone else. Finally a tip of the Fedora to The Charming Roxeanne of Haemet who provided moral support.

Thanks also to all who have linked and all who have read or commented on the posts I’ve put up and will put up on the subject.

As regular readers know I’m about 6 weeks from the end of my unemployment. Although I had a free ride down I racked up an extra $250 of expenses consisting of The train Ticket home ($135), Memory Cards and batteries ($40) and cell phone stuff ($70).

If anyone is able and willing to help offset these expenses I would really appreciate it. Just click on the “I’ll do it myself Tucker fund“. Please specify in comments that it is to offset Washington so I don’t put it toward Ga.

I’m still offering my Have Fedora will travel services for a full week of blogging & filming etc to anyone with a story they want told. Price $1000, plus flight, hotel and rental car.

To any who can kick in from $5 to $500 I will not forget it.

And of course if anyone wants to hire a full time telecommuting staff blogger let me know.

Update: Wow! It’s one thing to get an instalanche, it’s another to get one on a tip jar request. What an amazing thing to wake up to after a day of illness. Thanks to all who stopped by. when it no longer hurts to look at the screen I’ll thank you properly.

Update 2: You guys are really something. Washington is paid for, anything extra will go to the Ga Trip. Thanks to each and every one of you.
