The short story is that a local crazy thought I sold a laser to a couple of other locals who were going to use it to give him a lobotomy (1980). He came looking for them. When I told him it wasn't true, he shot me. The moral is not to tell a crazy that he is wrong. I only spent 11 days in the hospital thanks to an Ex Air Force doctor that had had experience with gunshots. No permanent disabilities, thank goodness. In the long run it lead me to moving to Portland and getting into the computer business. If I hadn't gotten shot many of you on the list would not have gotten the classics from me that you did.
