Parent's hometown is in western Nebraska, caught it from them, you do the math, but it plays out to being midwest. I suppose I got some from my own experience.

I am lazy, if there is an easier way to do something I will. For example, I dig the tapered, cannulated compression screws for small bone work. Pulls it together tight enough to squeeze the juice right out of the bone. I used to use a lot of pins, put I can throw one of those screws quickly, no need to tap, better compression than a regular cannulated set. By cannulated, I mean a set of screws where you drive a pin where you want the screw, then all your instrumentation slides over the pin. They might be a little more pricey than the old school stuff, but it is a better way to do it in pretty much every respect.

I have also discovered that it is easier to work hard and do a good job than to slack off and screw around.
