If you were really tough, you'd amputate and get a special prothetic designed like the head of an ice axe to reduce down time.

just don't get it anywhere near the crotch of your action suit.

Here's a little story 'bout a friend who started working for a construction company in June of '94 for $8.00/hour. He showed some hustle and by the time he moved on to a better job in June of '97 he was clearing $60,000 per year as a foremam which is what most of the people at that level made but some of the guys made as much as $80,000 including their bonus. Did I mention he was a scab? Part of the reason he left the company is the Union was sucessful in pushing the company to have the field guys join the union. Now nobody makes more than $50,000 (5 years later) and dues come out of that. go figure.

NOT A FEATHERED FRIEND! (ironic that the lady's last name is "Wing") 'I have a hawk stuck to my arm' By Katherine Schiffner Herald Writer ARLINGTON -- When Jamie Wing drove up to an Arlington gas station Thursday and shouted, "Call 911! I have a hawk stuck to my arm," customers thought she was kidding. But it was no joke. The red-tailed hawk had bit Wing's lip, then dug its talons into her right arm and wouldn't let go. The bird had crashed into Wing's pickup on I-5 Thursday morning. She had pulled over to free the hawk's wing from her side mirror when it flew into the pickup and attacked her. "I couldn't believe it," she said. "I feel lucky it didn't chew me up more." Wing, 38, of Silvana threw a coat over the bird and tried to get it off her arm, but "every time you touched the bird, it gripped harder," she said. With the hawk still attached, she managed to drive to a gas station in Arlington and yell for help. Despite the pain, Wing, who owns two cats, two dogs and four horses, did not want the hawk killed. "There was a point where it got so painful that I was going to reach down and break its neck myself, but I love animals and I realized the bird was in shock and pain," Wing said. "It wasn't the bird's fault." Wing had a woman at the gas station call 911 and a friend knowledgeable about animals to get advice. Firefighters from Silvana and Arlington went to the scene to help. Wing said they gave her morphine to help with the pain, and she passed out after that. "I couldn't hang on any longer," she said. Wing said she regained consciousness right before two women from the Sarvey Wildlife Center in Arlington were pulling the hawk off her arm. Firefighters, who described Wing as calm throughout the ordeal, then took Wing to the hospital. Wing, who said the hawk was attached to her arm for about a half-hour, suffered puncture wounds to her right arm and said her right hand and fingers are swollen. The back of her hand and top of her thumb are swollen too, she said. The injuries made it tough for her to celebrate her son's 11th birthday Thursday. "I promised I would make it up to him," she said. The hawk was taken to the wildlife center, but both of its wings were broken and the fractures could not be repaired, said Kestrel SkyHawk, who cares for all birds of prey at the center. The bird had to be euthanized, he said. Wing said she was sad to hear the hawk hadn't lived. "At least it's not in pain anymore," Wing said.
