The Ed, a guy with modest aspirations, is asking folks to send him money towards his Hummer fund. I first came across him a few months back and I can assure you, progress is being made. Looking at his money line, I think it is safe to say Ed has moved from $200 to the grand total of approximately $260. Judge for yourself, as I am not great at interpreting data, and a little color blind. Perhaps the fund-raising is going better than at first sight and he has $260 to go?

Ed the Editor inner tube fund

I can assure you, this Ed is not in the market for a luxury vehicle, so no pleas for money today. Although if there are any souls feeling generous, I could do with a 26 x 1.5" inner tube for my mountain bike! The 7th patch isn't lasting too well and the valve is beginning to rust. In return for a donation, I will give you a 30 mile "backy ride" around your favorite national park. I have a saddle that looks like it will sever your butt in two, but it is surprisingly comfortable once you get used to the bruising.

However, if that incentive is just too much to bear, and you can't see your way to helping me, at least send Ed some Hummer money. A ride on the back of his vehicle should be much more fun - when you are 93 and Hummers are vintage cars once more.
