This is actually Burr’s friend Ray.
Burr was the target of a violent attack on Tuesday. The attack occurred on a public parking lot in Maryland. The perpetrator is, as yet, unidentified. Detectives are working on it.
Burr’s right arm was broken in several places. A recommendation of complicated surgery is under medical review.
Burr is in extravagant pain, but is in relatively good spirits.
A family member remarked that on his last visit he caught COVID and now this. Wondered what curse will come on his next visit.
Burr’s answer:
Frogs.
More information as it becomes available.
Good gawd! Please give Burr my best regards and wishes. I hope his attacker faces not only the law, but Burr’s rapier-like wit!

Ouch! I hope you have access to the pain medication of choice! Feel better soon.
Thoughts and smoke signals …
Holy cow.
Heal well. We do miss you, but especially, you heal.
Glad to see his sense of humor isn’t damaged. Get well fast, Burr!
Send him my love and wishes for a quick recovery
Wishing you the best. I’m a longtime follower of your blog, and hope you will continue posting the great stuff that you do…
Dammit, you’re just being hit with one thing after another. Best wishes for a swift recovery. I hope they catch the perp.
As curses go, frogs would be much preferable to this.
Heal well, Burr.
It’s absolutely shocking this happened–best wishes for recovery Burr! (And a hopefully swift capture the miscreant.)
Just don’t smoke the frogs… I’m just saying it because someone has to.
Maryland doesn’t sound like a very merry land. Maybe they named like they did Greenland.
We’ll be waiting for you Burr when you feel well enough to post again.
Huzzah!

Sending healing vibes & love!
Our thoughts and hearts go out to you, brother Burr.
Try the dried frog pills next time, instead of the, you know…
Echoing others, heal fast and know many are thinking about you!
Send Burr my regards and wishes for his full and speedy recovery.
thanks much for letting us know, Ray. such awful news, but thank goodness things weren’t worse. in his last post, he said covid was fortunately ruled out. please let him know that so many of us are rooting for him. if it helps at all, when I was attacked many years ago, I lessened my ensuing ptsd by trying to remember that, as vulnerable as we each essentially are, the flip side is that we live in a world where the vast majority of us are kind.
Dearest Uncle-
My shovels and fire are ready if one of your frogs says jump! Love and prayers and flames!
Your dearest MO niece
Ah yes, force majeure trumps the Critique of Pure Reason…and then stamps on it. More common down South, but happens everywhere. Never have a battle of wits with an unarmed man, particularly with someone with serious muscles and a room temperature IQ.
Get better Burr, the world has an inifinite supply of idiots and too little wit.
