I have a habit of sweeping the ground with my foot to remove leaves and debris while digging bottles in old dump sites. I was doing just that to sweep glass and leaves aside and a piece went right through my boot and deep into my foot. I won't be doing that anymore. Stay safe!

That remains me long time ago I was digging with a small spade when a half broken bottle turned up and cut my hand. Not as serious as yours but blood blood everywhere.

Dang, that must have hurt like hell. Who knew glass could do that? That's why I cringe when watching certain bottle diggers (looking at you, Clayton!) digging in sandals, without gloves. I learned that the hard way, almost cut both thumbs off.

Ow. Glad it wasn't more severe.
And on that note, anybody know of any cut-proof wool-blend socks you'd recommend?
