In the continuing "Body Parts" series ..... offered here is "The Hand".
This hand (it just so happens to be mine) comes courtesy of a season's worth of holiday decorating.
Cuts. Bruises. Cracks. Jagged nails. (They definitely need to be trimmed. Longer nails come in handy during decorating. You don't want to know.)
Torn to shreds cuticles. (I've had more pine needles jabbed up beneath them than I care to admit ... and they hurt like a son of a gun. In addition, they're so ragged, they could double as an alien landscape in some up and coming science fiction flick.)
Additional slashes obscure my fingertips. (Trust me: if I ever decide to go "serial killer", the authorities haven't got anything on my fingerprints - I'm unrecognizable.)
Sap and electrical tape stains mar my palms. Scabs which will turn into marks of the season will forever be reminders of 2009.
These are the badges of the year's end of workery.
(If you've missed any, here are the rest of the Body Parts series.)
To some, this is nothing more than an advertisement.
Others? A nightmare come true.

I'dn't realized this could well be an edition to Rupe's "Body Parts" series of blog entries until that wiley Jerry Thomas informed Rupe of such. Thanks, Jerry!
While the upright position and Royal handle bar provide a unique and anatomically beneficial ride, the position of the crotch "resting" in the hammock seat does not. The little "pouch" in the seat has need of being a tad "deeper" so that one doesn't revert to voice-changing pre-pubescence.
