The day started with the local news coming out to video tape us and interview us about the up coming World Circus Day. That went well up to the point when he was setting up the camera and Victor Jr. in his haste didn't follow all the safety protocols on the low wire tight rope slipped and fell, his arm between the wire and his chest causing a break in his right radius. I noticed it first as Victor stood up. I said (calmly as I took his hand), "You broke your arm." He replied matter of factly, "Yup". He was calm and with a high pain threshold wasn't in much pain. He went to get his mom to take him to the ER as I calmed the Newsman down who was worried and not sure what to do next. He was truly concerned and a sweetheart of a man. But since we have 7 kids and a circus is a place where accidents happen, and life has given us various emergencies, we were all calm and knew what to do. Besides, I am better at the big bad things then little annoyances. If it was a hangnail or scrape I would have reacted worse.
(More on Vic Jr. below).
The newsman stayed and we cut some more tape for his segment and it turned out rather nice. Since Victor's fall took some time and footage from the edit he used some video from our past TV experiences to fill in some spots on the News segment.

He didn't even wince at the shot of pain killer....2'needle into the fracture!
We were at the ER for nearly 7 hours but everyone was nice. We were out by 5:25, did a Taco Bell run as we headed to church for Victor to participate in a favorite activity, AWANA. We made it on time.
My folks fixed some great homemade "Grandpa's soup" to come home to and that made both Victor Jr and I very very happy. Alas, all is calm....bedtime.
Oh, I posted the new robot video on Facebook but not here so here it is.
