The strange little mouth-like orifice on my toe has more or less healed.

The toes of triumph!

The toe of shame.

In addition, while I was handling an assortment of nails, brads, and tacks tonight, I dropped several of them on my feet. Instead of piercing the skin, which is what one might have expected them to do, they all were caught harmlessly in the crannies between my toes. Truly, this is a great day for toes.
