Well my summer is shot! After a terrible Memorial weekend of weather. Cold, wind, tornado (well funnel cloud), straight line winds and 2" of rain. I tripped over my labrador and went down the stairs and broke my collar bone. My fault for not turning on the light at the top of the stairs. No golfing and no fishing. I'll have to see about bike riding. But still no golfing and fishing. My summer is gone. Thank god for WitP-AE.

Bummer [:(] - sorry to hear that, that is painful. I broke my collarbone when I was about 10 years old. My sister challenged me to a race in the park and - showing off - I decided to run down the steepest part of the hill [8|]. Next thing I know, my legs can't cope with the speed, and I hear a loud crack as I am rolling a*** over t** to the bottom. Damn that hurt...... I never forget looking in the mirror a little while afterwards, and my ribs on one side of my body were considerably lower than those on the other side [X(]. Get well soon.

Hope your recovery goes well. If you decide to ride again, remember to fall on the other shoulder.

Give it at least a couple of weeks before you get on a bike - long enough for that collarbone to start to set correctly. Back in the mid-'80s I had a girlfriend (who was state road champion) who got back on her bike a day or two after breaking her collarbone. It ended up healing into a crooked position - from then on her left collarbone was visibly lower than her right one.

Speaking of excellent books - thoroughly recommend Geirr H Haarr's The German Invasion of Norway. Fascinating. The Germans seemed to get incredibly lucky with elements of Weserübung Nord.

Who dares wins eh Rodney.

simoltanious to Armageddon, I picked up the latest book on The Battle of Britian by James Holland. I used to have no less than 5 books on the battle but this one has been advertised as the "definitive" account with new research so i decided to check it out. It is fairly impressive so far. It's the first BoB book that seriously covers not just pre-war developments leading up to the battle but the actual war from declaration to the defeat of france as well, in a suprising amount of detail....including the ground action! Most BoB books just give an introduction or start right off the gate in July/Aug 1940 or in Townsend's case go into detail only about pre war development of Britian's air defense network and dev of planes and training of pilots. I'm more than several chapters into the book and we havn't even gotten to the "Battle" itself yet. Also some good commentary about the state of Germany as well as Britian and US attitudes before the pivitol event.

unfortunately the $$ was equally impressive ($40!!!!!!) oh well.......sometimes you just gotta..... [:D]

Well Thank God it was the left shoulder. However I've been through much worse. I fell off a steel building almost 28 years ago. Shattered my left hip and crushed the left elbow. But I proved one thing that day. This is one Czech that doesn't bounce.[:D]

that sucks, but at least you didn't injure a disk like a friend of mine just did splitting wood with an axe. He is in so much agony he can't even enjoy his Vicodin and doesn't have med benies same as me so can't go see a doctor about it. [:(]

god i fear things like tripping down the stairs at this point.

Have you read Len Deighton's:

Blitzkrieg

Although Len Deighton is primarily fiction writer he wrote several outstanding history books! [:)]
