Hi fazersharp,
Your account just got me thinking about tasks we all take for granted, but in fact do differently. Just like wheeling a bike from whichever side is comfortable to the individual. Which side do you get on a bike.For me it's the left,but when you watch pit crew readying the bike for their rider, some jump on from the right others the left. I'm right handed but would fire a rifle or use a bow and arrow left handed..I'd shovel left handed as well, my right hand nearer the blade rather than on the handle. Just got me thinking that's all.
