Thanks for picking up on that, jgas. Little wonder that I missed it considering that I came literally within an inch of checking out two days earlier. Must be the staples in the top of my head!
I don't want to hijack a great flask thread with what would be way too long a story. God just looked after me one more time. Sore, but I'll heal up fine considering that I was a hair's breadth from being killed. Or worse, maimed or paralyzed. Thanks much for asking, brother.
