Thank you for your concern. I am following through with a paper trail that would make the federal government proud. The police have been very, very thorough. (They know him.) He has to blow into the thingamajob before he can start his truck to go to work. He is on THEIR radar, big time. He will get prison time on the 3rd DWI and I suspect that he is going to get to wear some stripes over assaulting me. Being 65 adds to his troubles, considerably. Texas is really hard on hitting your elders. I've never minded my age and now I'm sorta smirking about it. :-)
The incident really brought back some memories that I would rather keep under my rug. After the wrist quit hurting, the pain
started sneaking into my consciousness.
