The reason I am having all these problems is because I finally realized when the rooms were spinning and I had bruises and cuts all over me from falling in my house for a couple of days, two years ago, I was having a stroke. That is why my speaking is still compromised (I could not even talk for maybe a month when it happened), causing people like my reverse mortgage agent and the Taiwan bike manufacturer who got me to sell my house, to take advantage of me. But through the fog, I finished NBG Blueprint, published it, and have gotten all of my smarts back.

And like my head injury (which  brought on the stroke), I see little improvements every day! While my constantly improving speech and some drooling are the only deficits that remain, I still may lose my bikes and belongings. The bikes include the 1891 Eagle HiWheel Bicycle, the Velomobile - National Bicycle Greenway, and I might also lose the Via Recumbent Bicycle I rode across the USA 1986, if I don’t pay $883 by 10/22. I have fallen behind on my payments because that debilitating scam cleaned me out. They are in a container with three other bikes, tools, my weight room set up, weights, household goods and business and personal records (even 100+ “Awake Again” hardback books). About $17,000 worth of stuff. A a lot of it, priceless in value to me.


 In my initial plea, I was just trying to save my bikes, but after I got my extension, I realized I need a place for them and myself. I have been couch surfing and tent camping. With winter fast approaching, i need to add the cost of a place to live (3 mos $1500) and storage ($300 for what won't fit in the room I rent).

 So that I can get back on my feet, then, I really need $1,060 before I can get back to pushing for the National Bicycle Greenway with my book, my blogs and social media posts  

Here in the 11th hour one thing after has come up. I am composing this on my iPhone because on my laptop, the screen went bad. It cost me about four hundred dollars to figure that out.

That number also reflects the portable screen I had to buy and all of the adapters. It has to be portable to fit in my briefcase I have no power and    no place. to leave it.  




I spent $400 trying to get a roof over my head. When the couple I had arranged that with came to pick me up from their house in Southport, they got in a very serious collision. They are both still in the hospital. If that sounds like yet another scam, send me a direct message. I will provide you with their names and address.

 I spent the money on lodging because I need to be able to work at night . I’m having a hard time sleeping in my tent after 5 AM because it just gets too cold. I also need a/c power and water for a shower, relieving myself, and just being able to splash it on my face to wake up. All the things we take for granted…
