>> $100 or more in July and August. On the other hand, September
>> donations were off the pace at just $60 total. I'll note that my wife
>> and I have been on the road wandering around the west in our RV since
>> September 6th, and I didn't pass the basket mid-month and we didn't
>> receive any donations after September 7th. More shall be revealed.
