They had to take a finger off too, and his pelvis is all cracked up.  I'm just hoping they can put some of those high tech legs on him so he can get around town good.  There's lots of folks want to buy his beer.

I would apologize if I thought there was a reason.  If I ever post the front page of a newspaper with an imposing unrelated story and photo, with no remarks or reference at f__king all to a 1/2" block link at the bottom of the page to the item I'm referencing, then I'll be the one to apologize.

Besides, havin' been raised by wolves, I learnt my manners and mos' my vocabulary in the army.  I don't hang around old ladies at church socials for that reason (among others).  Anybody with a handle with "Rocky" in it ain't likely to be seen in a floral print.  But I bet you make a mean apple pie, Bear.
