Got these emails from Richard Baxter about Jim Judge. Should be able to get status updates here now that the system is up.

Jim hit a deer near Junction last evening. Helioptered to Brook Army Hospital where as of 8 AM today, he is still in the ER. They're going to do surgery on his left arm/wrist. He looks kind of raggedy but not in too bad shape, considering. Last I heard (also 8 AM), Sandra was in Dallas waiting on a plane ride to San Antonio. She should get to town about noon.
Send him some prayers.

Update ~noon today. They put pins in his broken left wrist today. A little more surgery planned for Tuesday & he'll remain in ER thru that surgery. THEN he should be out of ER & in a room. His cell phone was recovered intact so when he gets to a room & eligible for calls, use his cell phone number (but not yet):
580-273-1396

BTW, no further updates yet except to note that Sandra met a guy at the Santone airport who'd been in the service w her son and he gave her a ride to the hospital - so those prayers are working
The bike is probably totaled. Unfortunately, this is the time of year where the deer start getting more active. Coincidentally, I went through Junction earlier that day while taking the long route to Fredericksburg to meet Judy for Oktoberfest. I saw a couple of deer that afternoon.
The next couple of months are a period of high deer activity.
