Hey, all,

K'jev over at cardmodels.net had a terrible thing happen:

"I stepped out of the tub, dried off, turned off the heater, and Boom.
Flattened the entire thing. My wife and son got minor burns, my dog got singed, and my wife's dog was killed. I spent two weeks in a burn unit, and another month and a half off work.

Here's a link to the story. ksl.com
(http://www.ksl.com/?nid=148&sid=2715295#)- Idaho family survives house explosion The toasted marshmallow guy partway down the page is me. I admit, I was a little sarcastic when the infochick asked me how I was doing and I told her "Great." She was the 6th person in an hour to ask. My friends all picked up on it, but she missed it.

At any rate, I'm a printer short of building models again. And I'm grateful to still be vertical. The cop who saved me, Corporal Jeff Young, got an award and has been nominated for America's Most Wanted's All Star award. Everyone where I worked voted for him. I voted several times.

In spite of the explosion, there were so many things that went right that night. Cop was in the right place. I was able, even while pinned, to find my cell phone. My wife came out on top of everything and was able to save my son, and in the burn center, I saw a lot of people who were waaaaaay worse off than me. It really makes me grateful for my family, and what I have."
