pygmy

So... Either Christmas eve or Christmas morning, my van (which as most of you know is also my home) was broken into. I don't keep anything terribly valuable in there unattended, but lots of miscellaneous shit was stolen that all adds up quickly when it comes to replacing it. At least they didn't smash the window (they disassembled the little triangle of window/vent thing on the drivers side and reached in to unlock it), because that would have been $175 or so just to replace. But yeah. Not something you want to deal with on Christmas. They stole my stereo, a bunch of camping gear (hiking backpack, my camp stove, sleeping pad, sleeping bag, headlamp, tent, tarps, axe, etc), some tools, and other shit that is really only valuable to me (my piano tuning tools? wtf are you going to do with that? motherfuckers.)... Also generally made a gigantic mess of everything, and scattered things they didn't want outside in the rain (my clothes, atlases, books).

Y'all know I don't normally do this type of thing, but i've given to people who've put out something similar in the past when they've run on hard times and it seems like it could mitigate the horribleness of this situation somewhat... if you feel like sending a few spare bucks my way, it would be greatly, greatly appreciated. just click here . seriously, anything helps.

merry christmas!
