Kitchen sink is a double sink. As you face the sink, the dishwasher is to the left of the sink. So the house rules are to keep the dirty stuff on the right and the stuff washed off prior to going in the dishwasher to the left side. Was rinsing off "stuff". Picked up former glass - about 9-10 inches tall and about a inch and a half in diameter.

Memory recall goes like this - try to imagine this happening almost all at at once:
Glass was the third to the last item to get rinsed out. Rinsed it, turned it upside down, drained it, then the bad news - bumped the bottom of the glass on the divider that seperates the two sinks, breaks, and like a fool tried to catch the falling pieces as it happened.

When I got home hours later I looked at the "evidence". It broke it three sections, the bottom fell out in one piece. Glass broke lengthwise in two parts the height of the glass. No tiny chards ... just simply - three pieces.

Gave SH4 a try last night. Right hand is in much better shape and using the mouse and mouse wheel, clicking, etc. not a problem. Recently, I finally got through my thick skull how to do manual targeting. I use pen and paper to take notes for approach course calcuations and then work out the math with pen and paper for TDC entries later. Being left handed and through trial and error found I could put a pen between two fingers and draw notes. Looked at the notes later.

Had a good laugh - my paper notes look like a real bad Etch a Sketch! :p

Somehow this reminds me of the Monty Python sketch of "No One Expects the Spanish Inquistion:

How would you have felt if you had gotten into an automobile accident because your bloody hands slipped at the wrong moment, or your attention was distracted by the pain?

Suppose you wiped out some mother and kids because you were doing the "manly" thing? Pride is one thing, but lets think with the brain and not the testicles next time OK?

Especially if the Fire Station is only 1/4 mile away. Shoot, the Paramedic could have ran to your house faster.

I was a paid-on-call firefighter in the 1970's for about 7 years. I was fully aware of my limitations. I just needed someone to tape it up since I could not do it myself and was home alone --- that was my logic.

No, but I was trying to think of the Dirty Harry movie where Clint Eastwood says:
