Americans

Oddly, they didnt kill that many, only 22 but near 900 prisoners. A complete surprise and rout. God bless George Washington, IMHO one of the great men in all of history. How many men walk away from power? For a good read on him His Excellency George Washington.

During the Battle of Trenton, which followed Washington's crossing of the Delaware River on Christmas night, Washington's army killed 22 Hessian soldiers. The Americans also captured a significant number of Hessians, with 896 taken prisoner.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:
  • Killed: 22 Hessian soldiers, including their commander, Colonel Johann Rall.

  • Wounded: 83 Hessian soldiers were wounded.

  • Captured: 886 to 900 Hessian soldiers were captured.

  • American Casualties: The American forces suffered 3 killed and 6 wounded during the battle, according to The History List and Wikipedia.
I think a lot of people overlook the fact that he actually crossed the Delaware to take Trenton . Have you been to Trenton ? Like even drove thru . He coulda been car jacked . And man if he got some bad food from one a them Bodegas , Fuck it's over . Could have crushed the Rebellion right there .

Not gonna buff out

Out of surgery. Went well. Staying in hospital til at least tomorrow. I think 1 rod in tibia and maybe 4 screws. Breaks were clean transverse at same height. Will try to work on xrays tomorrow.
Glad to hear . Hope the rest of your journey goes smooth . Stay positive . I joke a lot with the Healthcare Staff . It keeps the mood light and happy . They tend to be more engaging and happy . Gotta think their job must be hard dealing with gloomy winers and people living in a low point in life .
Borrowed one from a guy my buddy knew .
So this guy skydives . One day he jumps and his shoot no worky .
Don't recall the particulars ; fowled , no open etc . Guy takes the ultimate hard landing . Fast forward to ER .
Nurse : Any allergies ?
Mr. Thudd. : Yes . Gravity. 😂
Guy lived and choose to be happy and have the best day of his life everyday .
So when I was asked ;
ER Nurse : Treedoggy , any allergies ?
Treeprojectile : Yes . Guardrails . 😜 .
Also when asked , "how did this happen " ?
"My stunt double called out ."
Or
"It's a love story . Boy meets Bike . Bike meets guardrail . It was like magic , instant sparks . I knew instantly cause I had that funny feeling in my tummy , and my forearm and ankle and knee and left side of my torso ."
Funny but not meant to be was a moment of clarity whilst the ketamine was starting to kick in in the ambulance . I outta nowhere spit out " I am so fucked " . EMT answers back that "man you're ok and this could have been really bad . This will work out , you're ok " . I responded with no not that . I can't drink beer tonight . He laughed and I responded , I don't think you understand I really love the taste of beer .
