Toys for Tots this weekend. It always gets to me when I see that, and there are so many benefits to giving: most importantly it's good for kids who might have a real bad Christmas otherwise, good for the Marines, who publicly get to show the kind side for a change, and good for the horseracing industry, which doesn't look like a bunch of criminal degenerates for a change. We should all support the cause. NYRA [though their name may be unspeakable to some] is matching horse owner gifts dollar for dollar this weekend.

Pretty funny lukeydog :) ; I'm going to speculate that it's from the takeout revenue stream only. But finally I hope everyone that can will put something out to the tots. If you can't make it to balmy Aqueduct this weekend, their address is
P.O. Box 90
Jamaica, NY 11417
