MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM THE RIFLE FAMILY!

It's the second break day of the month! Hope you have/are celebrating Christmas (if you do).

I ended up donating $50 to 10 different charities as many charities were doing a 'double or triple your impact' deal for giving tuesday where everything you donate gets matched! (6 charities were doing it so I thought I might as well do $50 each).

Some charities such as WWF and Doctors without Borders were not selected because I already donate to them.

Some suggestions were not selected (such as Make Love not Scars, Sta. Ana-San Joaquin Bahay Ampunan Foundation Inc) because there was no easy way to donate to them or their international donation site was down.

The 10 chosen were

World Builders

Planned Parenthood

Save the Redwood

Team Trees (screenshot because I had to make this comment)

Rainforest Trust

ALS Association

St. Jude

Love without Boundaries

Akshaya Patra

WildAid

This was nice seeing other charities that I had not considered in the past, some other charities I support are Wounded Warrior Project, Save the Children, and RAINN.

Thanks for the suggestions and I'll definitely do something like this again!

On a fun note, I was chatting with fellow translator Ensj at a local cafe in Las Vegas when I had my first fan interaction!

A person approached me and asked if I was miraclerifle and had to compose herself because she was shocked to see me before asking for a picture!

I won't say her name (in case she doesn't want it known) but thank you, M, for making my day! She said I made her day but she also made mine! Ensj was shocked as he mentioned that he has met with multiple translators before and this was the first time he saw something like this happen. Does this make me at least a F-list celebrity now? xD

She said I was allowed to share the picture so here it is! It was a great experience for me! If anybody else sees me and wants a picture feel free to ask! (I know the chances of that happening are slim...but a man can dream...)
