The Drifter

"He looked upon life as a sort of a joke.
He didn't want money, but he never was broke.
But when things got in earnest he shore could talk sense,
And he could shoe hosses, mend wagons and fence."
- The Drifter by Bruce Kiskaddon

One Year Ago

One year ago I was learning how to be a surgical assistant. These are some images taken during surgery lab.
