Folks,

We are back from a few days camping and very sorry to hear about Joel's situation.

Unfortunately Mag & I are unable to coordinate this Piff activity.

So please do not send donations to us.

However, we very much would like to make a contribution if a Piff project does get formed for this.

Also a word of caution ... whoever takes the lead on this, please contact Joel first and see if he is OK with being the recipient of a PiFF Project.

We have talked with Joel in the past about this possibility and although he was very moved by the offer, he preferred that things not move in that direction.

Mag & I will post more at a later date on future Piff projects and our thoughts about how Piff should evolve.

When I checked in with unca Joel I fond him in good spirits, having had logos or no damage to his home or property other than a few downed limbs and trees. However, a tornado through Tuscaloosa the week before cost him his garage and put a hole on his roof the size of a pickup. But he wasn't thinking about that. He was going on rounds through the neighborhood, taking needed supplies to his neighbors. He was concerned about keeping the schedule of delivering gas to keep a generator running for a person in critical need of oxygen.
