Two More Photos

This photo I took as I was preparing to be discharged.  I am disheveled, unkempt, and unshaved after eight days in the hospital.



This is another on-the-road shot as I passed through Wyoming.

First: that chest wound is fucking amazing. I'm sure it aches like all get out (or would if not for the bliss of painkillers), but just think of all the times you'll be able to go into a bar half-cocked, order a beer, and tell the guy next to you how you took a piece of shrapnel to the chest pulling those orphans out of that exploding bus.

Second: doesn't Wyoming strike you as unfinished, like God sculpted all the ground into really amazing features, then stopped for a bit to check his email... then his LJ... then play a few games of FreeCell... then see how his homies were doing on WoW...

My grandfather used to tell us grandkids that his appendix scar was from getting stabbed by a Japanese soldier in WWII. I didn't find out that was a lie until I was 16 and he was dead for 4 years :P
