I second that: "let us cherish the small gift that is eyesight!"

I volunteer with a craft group, teaching the craft. We REQUIRE everybody to wear safety glasses. I've heard every excuse, but I just put my foot down. Recently I (good humoredly) read one fellow the riot act because his glasses had slipped down his nose. "If they're not in front of your eyeballs, they do you no good."

It's like other recent posts of folks disregarding their safety.
