I really apologize for missing the Carson trash pickup and meeting saturday. I am full of great excuses though, none of which will help clean up the streets or organize the community of Carson but good excuses nevertheless.

First, I am still milking that car accident and paralyzation thing I experienced a few years back. Since I am not fully recovered it's still the excuse I use for not cleaning up after myself around the house, so naturally it's also the excuse I am using for not cleaning up around the neighborhood (my beautiful, dedicated, hard working wife still cleans up after me, no doubt happy she doesn't have to change my condom catheters anymore, lol).

Semi seriously though, I woke up sore, stiff, and numb, there was no way I could walk up and down the highway picking up trash, I do have good managerial skills though so I apologize I did not show up and at least take on a management position.

Second, I make my living on the internet and some of my sites and domains started getting hacked and attacked right when I was going to head to the meeting, apparently hackers work weekends. Anyway I had to deal with it, it's what I do, I had to shut some things down, move some things around, and change some IP's until I could figure out who and/or what was ddos attacking my sites.

I have lots of internet stuff going on so it is not unusual I get targeted by who knows who or what sometimes. Once I got a book sent to my Carson po box addressed to Hugh Mann (Human?), the book was titled "How To Hack Paypal", what was really creepy is it was paid for with <em><strong>my</strong></em> Paypal account but I didn't order it, somebody hacked my Paypal account and ordered it for me. Hmmm? Needless to say I had to make some adjustments, change my Paypal, replace my credit cards, and hide out in my house for a few weeks.

Anyway, I am sorry I neglected my community and civic responsibilities saturday, and I thank everyone that did show up to help keep my neighborhood clean and organized.
