Yes one of my neighbors lost his right hand in a corn picker while in High School about 1969. He was a bright boy and made a successful career in .gov financials, as well as running a couple hundred acres of irrigated farm ground and a small herd of Angus beef.

A second young man I know got an arm tangled around an implement pto drive shaft when he was 13 or 14 yo. It shattered and splintered everything between his elbow and his wrist. A few years later he went to the Golden Glove national championships and as an adult did two tours in Iraq with the US Army.


People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.
