Release Me, Set Me Free

By Daddy

Las Vegas, NV — I finished with the editor changes. I plan on making one more pass through the changes that came from the Cabana. Looking for photos from the 80s that don't have copyright issues. Most of my favorite haunts have disappeared over the decades.

I've finally received a version of the lease that I can accept with only a minimum of discomfort.

two weeks until the Midterm Elections. I've been looking at the candidates and the measures on my sample ballot. One of the things I'm taking into account is the negative ads that I'm seeing. If you're spending more time smearing than talking about what you're all about, I'm really not interested. I'm not voting by party, I'll voting by the person. We need to strongly support the changes we need in our government, if the LGBTQ community is to retain the hard fought rights that we've achieved over the decades.

Thank-you for your donations! We will get a commission for October but it will be only a couple hundred dollars. My reserves are at the 25% level and will be dropping next week. The current projection is that I'll be $500 short for November. Hopefully the Flirt4free commissions will pick up in November. Any help is welcome.
