Thanks for the ping!! I have company today so I probably won't get to come on for anything other than this commentary...

Lovely place...can we have Jack Aubrey pay a visit some time???

I go out for the afternoon and everyone sneaks off on me!

Jen - nope, never heard back on the kitty. I'm guessing it'll be Monday. Oh well. I'm not really worried at this point.

Got the phone, but I didn't get any extra minutes yet. Meant to buy a card, but I dropped the one I had somewhere in Wal-Mart and didn't realize it until I was already at the cash register, at which point I didn't feel like going back to where the phones were and losing my place in line. I can activate it and all and just get minutes before I leave - no big deal!

Also got a road atlas in case any printed out instructions don't have enough info for a particular area.

Nice new Hole!!

Got an email from the chaplain's wife! A bit of news!

Unfortunately, the consequences of jumping out of a perfectly good airplane are that sometimes you get injured. Wednesday night "RC" had a bad landing. He broke his ankle in two places. The fracture in the fibula had to be pieced back together with a plate & 5 screws. The surgery was successful. Fort Bragg has some of the best podiatry surgeons in the United States. He will be in the hospital for the rest of the weekend. He is in a lot of pain, but they are doing a great job of controlling it.
Yes, he will be able to jump & run again. I've been calling him the "Bionic Man". He will be put on 30 days of convalescent leave. He won't jump again before we PCS to Mannheim, Germany - 1 July. He's just glad that he was able to get his star above his jump wings before we go to Germany, where they don't jump. He still wants to come back to Fort Bragg to be with paratroopers & jump out of perfectly good airplanes with them.
Please keep him in your prayers!
"Mrs. RC"

Looks like he's hooked up to a drain...see that device with the springs?
