Couple announcements. For everyone that is currently [i]not[/i] in the Ranger HQ, I will be doing spontaneous updates for you periodically. For everyone [i]in[/i] the Ranger HQ, I will update once in a while when the mentor has something to say, but for the time being it's all about your own interactions. Announcement number two, tomorrow evening I'll be hopping on a plane to Texas (I live in Colorado) to see my father, who injured himself falling off of a roof and went through surgery. I'll be out of state until late Wednesday night. During that time period, I have absolutely no idea how well I'll be able to update for you guys, but I won't have any problems keeping up with reading thanks to my phone. Announcement number three, [i]ho damn[/i], Ruth's making sure there's enough slaps to go all around! Edit: To answer your question Alex, yes. Yes they are.
