I am sitting at home with a compound fracture to my right collar bone trying to fill my time by being helpful to people.

Hey Rod... you're getting a bit old to be playing football aren't you? :p How in the world did you fracture your collar bone? - Hopefully you're OK and will get well soon. We were wondering why you hadn't been posting lately.

I sure hope it wasn't playing that crazy Aussie ball game they play down there. H*ll, it looks like it can kill you. (So says an old rugby player of eons ago.)

Next choice, bailing out from a motorbike… ??? :\

It was the motorbike. Well picked Patrick.
Thanks for the well wishes. I only have my iPhone at the moment so I'm a bit limited.

Bummer, but at least you're alive and it could have been worse I'm sure.

I'm an old biker from way back as you probably guessed.

Anyway, heal and get better soon and I hear Aussie beer and barbies help.

Thanks Patrick, as it is I live in Bali, Indonesia these days (Aussie Expat) but beer and BBQ's still help.

OK and thanks.

I took a look at some of the photos of Ubud, Bali, Indonesia in Google Maps and it seems to be quite a different and varied place to live. Neat.

Yep, Ubud is where I'm at.
