I donated to Wikipedia, yes I did.

One of my favorite things in scifi stories is
when the heroine has an instant connection to
The Information Of The Universe.

I always wished I had that.
And so I am a big fan of wikipedia.

And while I do understand that we should take what we find on the internet
with a grain of salt...
and yes I do now know the origin of that saying
because I looked it up on WIKIPEDIA!!!!...

I have found Wikipedia to be pretty durn accurate.
Except maybe for things like this...
Because a rooster's comb is not a location in California,
But never mind that now, I'm blogging.

And so when Wikipedia started their annual fund drive, I could no longer ignore it
like I do with NPR.
National Public Radio regularly makes me mad,
but Wikipedia is my friend,
so I donated.

It was easy.
It felt gooooood.

And also a big thank you to all the unpaid contributors who are the backbone of the system.
And a big raspberry to all the nay-sayers dissing the organization...

Thank you Wikipedia!
