Should we call that the good old days? That's a great story! I have a similar one. I was in the field in Ohio walking down a tractor road parallel to a fenceline. My assistant and I encountered two men working on the fence. One of the men had a gaping hole where his eye should be. It wept whatever stuff comes out after your eye is destroyed. The fellow explained that he had been digging a well the previous day when a rock flew up and put out his eye. He finished the well, too. Now me, I would be going crazy about that time. They don't make 'em like that any more. When I was a kid a neighbor made stools in his basement. He sliced off the end of his left index finger, wrapped the stub with his handkerchief and kept working. He said he had 94 years of use out of it.
