Earlier today I went tromping through the woods trying to find some liverwort specimens (I didn’t find any :(). On my way out, I tripped a bit, and put my hand out to catch myself. It did an excellent job, and I stayed on my feet. However, The few fingers that touched the ground happened to touch it in an already occupied space. When I brought my hand back up, I saw that a thorn had passed through my finger. As in, it went in one side, and came out the other. If only I had a cell phone that had a camera in it, you too could have witnessed the gore.

It’s pretty sore now, but can hardly be seen. Which is disappointing.
