Link with 963: Old metal.

[At one point growing up we lived at the very limits of the expansion of the city. Across from the new subdivision was a farmer's field. That evening when the farmer's house was torn down to make way for new houses I just had go over and explore the remains. What fun! It was a tangle of debris and broken boards. After playing around there for quite some time I realized it was time to come home for supper. But as I dashed off the pile of rubble there was a sudden, sharp piercing feeling in my foot. A rusty nail had punctured my black and white sneakers!]

I think we can find rusty nails in lots of places. Some, even shots won't help. Excellent Vaughn!!

Pamela: I was okay but Mom and Dad were a little worried about lock-jaw.

Pat: So true. Thanks Pat.

Polona: Thanks.

Floots: It's a law, isn't it?

Borut: Right. As a kid you just run head-long and suffer the consequences after. :-)
