Ashes.

So no sooner do i finish typing my previous article when my wife walks up to tell me about a small tragedy in our rather extended family.

It seems, her sister (who lives outside of Rochester) home burned down this morning.

Her sister and her husband have 3 kids, 2 cats and a dog. They have had a pretty quite life until recently.

Their home was completely destroyed, her sister is now in the hospital for smoke inhalation. and they don't know for sure yet but they suspect the animals are dead as well. The kids are all ok, because their father was taking them shopping.

Meanwhile everything they own is gone. We don't know what their renters insurance will pay for if anything.

So I'm doing something I don't like to do, but I will do anyway.

I'm asking for financial assistance. It's not for me, but it is for my in-laws who now own, well, nothing.

To say the least blogging will be light while I head to Salvation Army and start buying clothes and other odd & ends to be sent to them. Those who know how to contact me, feel free to do so.
Otherwise the blog is taking a back seat for a few days while i try to get some money and items together for my in-laws.

Meanwhile I have set up a PayPal account but I'm not sure how to set it up here on the site. Once I figure out how to do so I'll have it on here for a limited time

We're not in the money begging buisness here at Techography, unless its a good cause. I think this one fits our criteria.
