Anyway, instead of paying for some more Tiki detritus this month, lets flow some money out to people who were in the right place at the wrong time. Money spent on a mug/print/whatever could give a family a tent to live in. Ideally, give the money you'd normally spend on crappy non-Tiki items to the various funds. We can all do without something(s) in the coming week. Trader Woody
