    For those out there cutting firewood, be careful. As a reminder, my brother in laws uncle who has been cutting wood most of his life, is now laid up. He was cutting a tree up when a branch snaped back and went through the back of his leg. He has had 2 surgery's so far, and is scheduled for a 3rd, which they say will lay him up for months. This was a freak accident, but they said if the branch would of hit him in the head, it probably would of killed him. So to all those here, just a friendly reminder to keep your head on a swivel and be safe out there!
