Please excuse my typing as I am actually not typing... I am dictating
this because of a wrist injury.

What happened to your wrist? I hope it is not that arthritis thing
that I had/have.
Don't pay a lot of attention to the people who say "immobilize". I did
that and lost almost a year before a physical therapist told me to do
exactly what 5 doctors told me not to do. I am OK now.,

I don't want to make a big deal out of this. I was over in Virginia last
week middle the week trying to get a part for my wife's rug shampooer.
Out in the strip mall parking lot, I saw a guy physically and verbally
abusing a woman and her child. He was slapping the woman and pulling on
the child. I asked him to stop. He got verbally abusive towards me and
then he took a swing at me. He missed. I swung at his face as hard as I
could with my right hand and connected.
He fell to the ground but I didn't knock him out just staggered him. I
told the woman to call the cops but she didn't want to. She thanked me
and she and the kid got in her car and drove away. The guy I hit got up
and gave me a dirty look and got his car and drove away. My lower arm
and wrist hurt like a son of a bitch so I ended up at the ER this past
weekend and x-rays showed I busted a couple of bones in my wrist in
hitting the parking lot asshole. No good deed goes unpunished. So, no
typing.

Good show chap. Bummer about the wrist though.

I get a kick out of watching the old Western TV shows and movies. If
people hit other people the way they depict in the fights they would all
have busted hands and wrists.
