my grampa got a digital camera pretty recently. this week he got his bike tire stuck in a train track, threw himself, broke one arm and the other side's thumb. he sent me (among many others) an e-mail all about his mishap. it included self portraits from before and after the accident. i was going to post them, because they're ever-so funny, but decided that would be some sort of invasion of his privacy (as if anybody reads this). instead i present you with the preceding ramble. oh, and the after photos of are him doing things like eating, drinking, and typing.
