    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site.

Very sad. I saw the footage of the seizure before he fell in the water and thought he drowned. Very sad. I do wonder what caused the seizure. It was obvious the way he was circling that something was wrong.
