This morning when I woke up in the twilight I thought I couldn't see so I was looking for my glasses on the dresser for a minute before I realized that I do not wear glasses anymore. My eyes are feeling and seeing wonderfully, and yesterday I went to the Clinique counter at lunch and volunteered for the eye lady to do my eyes, since now people can actually see my eyes!
If I think about all of the many people who have vision problems, I wonder why the eyes are such a defective item. I mean, if Toyota took charge of the problem, then there would be a significant reduction in the incidence of myopia, and there would also be a factory warranty so you could get new eyeballs if yours weren't working right.

I wonder if they're defective or if they've just adapted over our lifetimes to the type of lifestyles that most of us lead.

In hunter/gatherer times, I would have been selected out of the population.

As long as its not Walmart... I am NOT going to Walmart for new organs if the old ones wear out. Left orders with my kids about this. Sometimes it's not the eyes themselves, but the muscles and sensing tissues that have problems. Though it would be nice to get a warranty for the first 80 years against fair and unfair wear and tear. Wonder what that would cost?
