good SAR story

[trax]

I was in a doctor's waiting room yesterday, waiting, and so I began digesting Reader's Digest. I don't know if you can access their stuff online, but I'm sure surferboy will let us know (off you go, Twink) but there's a really good story about a guy who fell down a mountain in BC, he was on a snowshoeing trip with a buddy (150 meters, lots of bounce and ouch, I'd guess) and was seriously injured and the concerted effort of the SAR people to get him out. It was the January 08 issue, which is pretty amazing for a doctor's office when you think about it. So if you all get a chance, check it out.

(shouting over electrical noise) I'm here in cyberspace looking for the Reader's Digest web site. Behind me is their server at http://www.RD.com . While the SAR article can't be accessed there are some other stories here that you can read through at your leisure. Back to you Trax.

And ...apparently...it pays to enhance your word power and laughter is the best medicine. thanks for that Rick.
