Eye Safety
Due you want to see me take my eye out? I can and you can too! That is if you don't use proper eyewear when doing various activities that may be hazardous to your eyes. I would like to take the time today to explain to all of you why it is important to wear the right kind of eye protection when, let's say, working with tools.

So I got to go through one more surgery. All preventable if you just wear proper eye protection. I wear protection even if I am just going to hammer a simple nail into the wall. Now one thing about me that you may not know is that when I do something, I go all the way through with it. In the summer of 1993 I was outside my house when I heard my wife scream.
