Quick update....

...Dad's doing better, "better" of course being a relative term. My aunt talked to the chopper pilots -- no ambulance for him, he got choppered straight from the scene -- and they had no idea how someone could've lived through what they'd seen. Well, yeah, that's him. Of course, he's missing the top two layers of skin, now, so that's not exactly invulnerability. And he's on a morphine drip, so while I've got his number, you know, I don't wanna call and spoil that kind of buzz. He did say he's in more pain than he's ever been in his whole life, and honestly, that's saying something.

And I battled my router all night last night -- and into this morning -- and apparently have fried the firmware to the point where it won't update or even hard reset. Which is something of a problem. I'll take it back as soon as I get a good nap....
