Woke up late to rain. Chilly, with lows in the upper 50'sF, Highs in the low 70's. The rain cleared around noon. I laid out two Number 9 with dichroic tiles I fired last week. I foiled until 5PM, and which time we decided to walk around town. We saw Jeff the EMT/Fire Chief (and previous Owner of the Endangered Species Park). He told us that our friend Milton was thrown off of a Cow Pony on Friday Evening, and suffered a broken hip, broken ribs, and a pretty mashed up shoulder (where the horse stomped him). He told us he took Milton to the Florida Hospital in Sebring. We returned home immediately, and prepared to leave. We got to the Hospital at around 7:45PM. We have Milton a fruit basket and card, a Hunting Magazine, Bert's Bees Lip Balm, and some hard candy. He had his hip replaced on Sunday, and appeared really uncomfortable. At 66y.o. he is a pretty tough old cracker. They will move him to a nursing home in LaBelle Wednesday next, so he will be closer to home. I doubt that he has ever been still for more than 8 hours in his entire life.
