A Little Family History

This evening my folks and I had pie over at my Grandparent's house. We began to talk about the family habit of chopping off fingers. I knew that Dad and Grandpa had taken bits of the top of theirs, but tonight I learned that a Great Great Uncle lost five fingers over the course of his logging career. Three on one hand two on the other. Although I am a little shocked, I have to admit that it made me feel a little better about chopping the tip of my right finger off a couple of years ago... and then julienne-ing my thumb.
