Hola! Hello! Howdy! How y’all doing?  Great, I hope.  Get ready, because we’re about to unleash another stupendous, and never horrendous, big, bad, issue of THE CHALLENGER!  We hope you get as much enjoyment out of reading our paper each and every month, as we do in publishing it.  Remember, no matter how low life has gotten you, there’s always something to look forward to, and enjoy, even if that’s just taking a moment or two to kick your feet up, sit back and take in some world-class writing, like this month’s featured online article from regular Challenger contributor Jeff Tydeman, Death and the Dispossessed.

As always, more great content awaits you, at your fingertips below, for a small donation that helps support our work and our mission to end homelessness in Austin, TX and worldwide.
