Couple announcements. For everyone that is currently not in the Ranger HQ, I will be doing spontaneous updates for you periodically. For everyone in 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, ho damn, Ruth's making sure there's enough slaps to go all around!
Edit: To answer your question Alex, yes. Yes they are.
