HH - I don't think you've met him - he is my second oldest. It does look painful but he claims it didn't hurt that much.
Chris - he got it cut out at a doc in the box so it would get cleaned out. Fortunately, he has a good job and could afford to pay for it.
Paul - talk about a scary wound. Could not agree more about machetes.
Spinner - it kills me to see kids playing in the water without shoes on, even in the "swimming areas". And how much broken glass have you picked up along the banks?
Tex - the closest I've come is Russian Olive thorns from hunting ducks along the Snake and they hurt like a #$!%$%^. I've heard horror stories about mesquite thorns but the closest I've come is watching Deets cut one out of Jake in Lonesome Dove.
Divin - look at the bright side....those scouts will be telling that story to future scouts and I'm sure it will get better. It sounds like those Chuck Taylors protected your feet about as much as they kept me from spraining my ankles.
I agree with you folks about the dangers of old tackle and hope everybody has a safe remainder of the fishing season.
