One of my favorite mushers might not run the Iditarod this year.Four-time winner Martin Buser is an amateur carpenter and woodworker in
his off time. Tuesday night, in an inattentive moment, he lost
half of his right middle finger to a table saw. Fortunately, he
is left-handed, but he still doesn’t know if his doctor will approve
his running the race the weekend.http://www.adn.com/iditarod/news/story/6229672p-6104573c.html

that could be a serious social disability, losing his middle finger like that
and he does want still to run?
Being right handed I use my left middle finger for any worth losing….
Hey? Sorry for his loss…..
Next year he’ll mush on……
Keep him proud……
Owww!!!!!
Man that sucks. I would love to learn to use power tools but the whole loosing members thing terrifies me. Just wanted to say thanks for the sub, and I look forward to getting to know you.
ouch…my dad lost his second toe when i was young and had to learn to walk again without loosing balance it was the one next to the big one…Sassy

How awful!
Is it cold enough for the race? I heard it was a warm winter up there.
He said last night he was running the race. FYI, see a private post (not done yet) fore important info vital to the security of the free world.
Ow! Bet he won’t do that again
(poor guy)
He sure is a cutie, tho!
