No, I was not the victim

Think I was about 10 when I tripped and did a swan dive over a full flight of stairs onto the point of my forehead into the concrete floor.  The worst part of the experience was learning how to chip out an undercut channel with a cold chisel so the crack in the floor could be repaired.

stay safe.

Hey you kids!! Get off my lawn!!!

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.
