The article could have been clearer about it but yeah... I think your cynicism is overtaking their weak editing.

All the things to be thankful for this Thanksgiving.
I'm thankful for this guy and the good work he's doing.

Maybe it is just the cynic in me, but this story seems to have a major hitch in it, from the article:...Wanting to repay him for his kindness, she started a GoFundMe page to share the story and raise funds for him.You'd think $160k should last him 3-4 years, not 4-6 months. Maybe the 4-6 months figure was based on money actually received vs. pledged... ?
She has since taken him essentials to stay warm and repaid him for the gas, and her GoFundMe page has raised more than $160,000 — far more than her $10,000 goal. She wrote that she would like to use the funds to help him rent an apartment, get a reliable vehicle and cover four to six months' worth of expenses.

Crikey, why not just yell 'Derek Smart' three times?! I'm convinced Redmask is Derek incognito...the ego, lack of empathy, attempt at seeming disinterested...checks all the boxes...
Anyway, Happy Thanksgiving, ya'll! Rainy and coad down here in northern central FL...would rather have a half foot of snow... *nods enthusiastically*
Edit: and I just noticed my 'N' key isn't working that well...geez, I just stripped this thing down and cleaned it not four months ago! It's spotless. Well, either I live with it, tear it down again or grab my backup Dell keyboard...*thinks about it*...meh, screw it, I'll live with it...

No problem, Rigs. Last year was a pretty big anomaly, the team has sucked since 1997. But, they've been my team since 1972... whatca' gonna do?

*ugh* Apparently the Cowboys have fallen and can't get back up. For the first time in their history they just went 10 consecutive quarters without scoring a TD.
