Third Time's A Charm



Yep, you probably guessed it, but I fell again. And yes, this is my third fall this deployment. Casie jinxed me in her comment yesterday. The picture above is the scene of the incident. If you look at the bottom-center of the picture you will see some loose dirt. That is where an embedded tile or cinder block was. You will also see some matted grass on the right side. That is from my dive.

Once again, due to my quick reflexes I saved my face and the grass saved my hands from further scaring. The thing that tripped me has since been removed (by me).

In baseball, it's three strikes, "you're out." Maybe this is a sign my deployment is winding down.

It just means that you are done tripping. Like Gerald Ford! Does that mean you're on to the Presidency? Wait he did that while President. But you got to admit you have a lot in common, Michigan boys, tripping, leaders, military, sports minded...

Gerard,
I never want to hear you make fun of my trip off the curb in San Angelo ever again.

I wasn't present for any of the tripping incidents, but the story I've been told of "Oscar Meets Curb: San Angelo" is by far the most entertaining.

You need to have someone follow you around all day with a camera so we can actually see you in action. Hmm... a month to go... I think you have one good fall left in ya! In baseball, isn't it four balls, "you walk" (not fall)?
