Rhiannon these instruments are for eye surgery. A small incursion is made and the tool goes in the eye to perform various tasks for the surgeon. It was incredibly challenging work and I do miss it sometimes.

Of course, and I marveled as I was reading about how they would be used on/in eyes.

Dang...whole comment disappeared...Mary Roach, "Fuzz", features "Poison Garden" pic, with skull and crossbones, made me think of you!! Now you mention the "peace doves"!!...So I had to go ahead and tell you, cause Roach's "Fuzz" also has a chapter on the Vatican bird trip.

Oh, please read it. You're already so connected.....Knew I was asking for trouble running away from my crabby self today. A trip to the local for wifi ended up costing me more than one hundred smackers, cause I left my key in the car...something I've been expecting to do for a month.

Well, it's over. Hope I don't become one of those "repeat customers" they told me about. Geez.

But , hey, Dr. Farrell is so worth it. Did you dig those interviews?

Those tools are unreal. I was thinking today how you must miss...as I do...the daily social face to face , eyeball to eyeball, soul to soul contact.

Amazing work, something few could do. And the replicas look great in front of your beautiful sunflowers.

I saw Santana in 1973 in St Louis, and was able to get front row seats, albeit at the left end in front of the speakers. Hard on the ears, but I was able to snag a drumstick that was thrown out.

Oh sure, I remember leaving the concert and showing it off. I also took an empty beer can off that corner of the stage after the lights came up. I packed the stick away when I moved to Oregon in 1975. It's still in a box somewhere. But where is a good question, lol.
