I'll be at Hogan's Creek on the 12th, and even though I don't live in Springfield, I'm sure you guys won't mind an extra pair of hands on the 19th. I have had enough of the talk about what is wrong with my beloved hometown. I'm ready to start doing whatever small things I can to fix these problems. I hope some others are ready to talk less and do more.
