A bolt out of the blue...

...can hit any of us at any time. I noticed in the comments that many of you have already left a note - but for everyone else; one of those bolts out of the blue hit a long term member of the Fat-chewers and good friend to this blog, Skippy-san. If you get a chance, if you are not in a position to buy him a beer anytime soon - head on over and give his shoulder a squeeze.
