Thanks Jim,

I was just replying to a pm that another member sent me. He got hit in the leg and had surgery last night. The bullet made a big mess and he lost a lot of blood, but he'll recover. It's too early to make predictions about his return to work, but he lived and his family wasn't hurt. That's the important thing.

When I got hit a bunch of years ago, I was out for about a month. When I went back, my office mailbox was filled to the brim with bullets. Real sweethearts, those bastards.

What is wrong with the world today?????????? Something somewhat similiar happened to my step-dad while he was working a few years ago. He was a UPS truck driver doing a business route that day. He went to deliver a package to a shop near by,he heard sounds like some people fighting down an alley. He went to check it out,someguy was being attacked by two other people. My step dad went to intervene and one of the guys went to strike him with a knife,luckily he didn't hit him. My step dad then backed off and as soon as he turned a corner called 9-1-1. He said that the thought of my mom and sisters not having a husband/dad was too much for him,so he drew the line there. I will always respect him for that.

Hopefully your friend is o.k. I will keep him in my prayers.
