Thanks, Drake. It was a painful thing to see, but good in that I know the guy survived... Jack

He did survive, and is doing well, I think. I see him around town occasionally. I've had staples a couple of times, also the old fashioned stitches. Stitches are far worse, and leave a very weird scar - rows of white dots. I'll take staples any time. Of course, I'd rather avoid the entire business... Jack
