And seeing how pabianice is a retired Naval Flight Officer, This just might be his story. Ya got me hanging here man!... : ) <<< me
I generally avoid personal info on the web, but aside from my interest in, and positions on the Terri posts, and how it relates to this, I was blown up, and nearly burned to death, many years ago in a lab accident. As near dead as you can be, and return to tell the tale. If you know how and where to look, you can still see 43 years later, where my face and both hands were surgically reconstructed. I know well the land of morphine dreams- and nightmares. It is a bittersweet place.
Like that old story about the mule and the 2 X 4, you got my attention...
