Two nights ago, I made some spaghetti sauce. I used my 8″ chef’s knife to cut up celery, carrots, parsley, garlic, onions and tomatoes. Everything came together beautifully, topped off with wine, but as I opened the wine bottle, my right index finger got caught in the gears beneath the arm of the opener. The result is pictured.
Last night, I asked Nikki to take some pictures of the wound, and the results are really nifty. The new macro lens doe indeed take very close up pictures, as the main wound is only 5mm from one end to the other. The little bubbles you see in my fingerprints are droplets of Hydrogen Peroxide solution doing their disinfecting job. Very impressive.
Strangely enough, this doesn’t stop me from being able to play guitar, but it does stop me from doing just about everything else with this finger, including typing. Of course, at work, I have the datahand which causes no pain, but at home, my Natural just hurts me.

I highly recommend you look at the largest view… fascinating.

Sorry to here about the finger, but what great pictures the injury made! How close was the camera? Macro lenses can make for interesting “what is this?” contests.
