Perhaps if the little old lady was conducting crypto transactions he might have understood?

?Two ?country hicks? came to Harvard and wanted to talk with the president. A haughty secretary resisted the couple and made them wait for hours. In exasperation, she finally asked the president to see the visitors, which he did if for no other reason to get rid of them. The couple told him their son had attended Harvard for a year and he had loved it, but had been killed in an accident and they wanted to build a memorial to him. The president discouraged them, saying they couldn?t erect a memorial to every student who had died. The couple said they were thinking of donating for an entire building in their son?s honor. The president discouraged them and mentioned how much all of the buildings at Harvard were worth. The lady commented to her husband that if that was all it took to build a university, they ought to construct their own. So?Mr. and Mrs. Leland Stanford went to Palo Alto, Calif., and built a school in honor of their son ? a memorial to a student that Harvard no longer cared about.?

Enjoyed cataract surgery today with an interocular lens implant that should vastly improve vision in my left eye. Had the other eye done 10 years ago. First time it was under general anesthesia, this time without which was a little weird and a bit stressful. Still looking forward to the results.....

I read that in ~20 years lens implants will be widely available that have zoom and macro vision capabilities. Can you imagine the possibilities?

Hummer.
hope you have a speedy recovery with significantly better vision for shooting.

...and bird watching.

Hope you heal up soon!

Yea, both of those. Thanks, guys!

My eyes are still dilated but now I can see better with my new corneal IOL lens without my glasses than with them. So, I might remove the one glasses lens tomorrow for driving. The eye needs to adjust to the new IOL interocular lens implant. It will be a month before I'll get an eye exam for new corrected glasses.

Ha! True, no doubt. I was telling the doctor how my previous eye lens implant gave me an image that was ~20% taller/more vertical than my natural eye. He replied that he'd never heard of that before. I said it's okay because my wife was suddenly more slender than before the procedure. Win-win. (Isn't that what I paid for?)

Who's your eye doctor?

I think I have needed his gift for longer than I should say in public.
