Having seen Steve Bean’s Stopped Watch item come through, I thought exactly the same thing. So I went over to find out. Yep, Juliew’s right. Incredible that she is still able to think clearly after a harrowing morning. Photos and write up forthcoming (of the drill at Pioneer, not of the stuff under the link.)
