Dear Listers,
As of today, contributions to the Matronics List Fund Raiser are lagging behind
last year at this time by 21%. I have a fund raiser each year simply to cover
my operating costs for the Lists. I *do not* accept any advertising income
to support the Lists and rely solely on the contributions of members to keep the
expenses paid.
I run all of my own servers and they are housed here locally, and the Internet
connection is a commercial-grade, T1 connection with public address space. I
also maintain a full backup system that does nightly backups of all List-related
data so that in the event of a server crash or worse, all of the Lists and
the many years of List archive data could be restored onto a new server in a matter
of hours.
All of this costs a fair amount of money, not to mention a significant amount of
my personal time as well. I have a Fund Raiser each year to cover these costs
and I ask that members that feel they receive a benefit from my investments,
make a modest contribution each year to support the continued operation and
upgrade of these services.
If you enjoy the Lists, please make a contribution today. I also offer some incentive
gifts for larger contribution levels. At the Contribution Web Wite, you
can use a credit card, Paypal, or personal check to show your support for the
continuation of these services:

For those of you who haven't seen this on AvWeb.
Apparently the Gators' win was totally unexpected and inflicted quite a bit
of damage on the Bulldogs' ego. Hence the response.

Short Final
On a recent trip in my Cirrus from KSAV to KPDK, I had this exchange with
Atlanta Approach. (This was right after the FL-GA football game where the
Gators won ... again.)
ATL:
"N267CP, you are cleared to PDK via the TRBOW8 arrival. Proceed direct from
present position to TRBOW."
N267CP (me) :
"N267CP cleared direct TRBOW for the TRBOW8. Are you sure that shouldn't be
renamed TEBOW for the beating that your Bulldogs took?"
ATL:
"N267CP, one more remark about the beatdown, and I will amend your clearance
to IAH, LAX direct PDK!"
N267CP "N267CP O.K. TRBOW8 it is!"
ATL:
"Smart man."
