Back in November, there was a guy who came in and sat on a fabric-upholstered chair for a few minutes. After he got up and left, I just had to take this picture.

I’ll go out on a limb and guess that he works in a really dusty environment.

My mentor in the Indian Health Service, CAPT Jerry Sherer, O.D. F.A.A.O, always used to tell me, “They always come in threes.”

“They” meaning unusual eye conditions that you have to manage within a short period. The other week, I had another example. Usually it’s some variety of red eye, but this time I had 3 cases of keratoconus…all in the same day…and two of them were back-to-back. And no, the individuals were unrelated.

So my question is, why do they come in threes? What is it about the universe that makes them come in threes? Do other health professionals see the same deal with threes? I’ll have to Google these questions and report back later.

Officemate ExamWriter now comes with the long awaited “feature” of allowing you to scroll up and down with a mouse wheel.

Thank You!!!!

Glass-is-half-full thinking would make me want to curse you for making me mouse-click scroll for the last year and a half, but I’m going to try to stay positive.

You can find the transcript of the last Republican debate at CNN.com. About 3/4 the way down, you will find the gun-related questions. (Just hit Ctrl+F and search “Gun”).

Here is how the transcript would read if I were running for POTUS:

Cooper: Mr. Langford, 90 seconds.

Langford: First of all, I don’t believe 90 seconds could possibly treat this topic fairly, so please see my campaign website where I have several essays, videos, and podcasts regarding the important subject of the second amendment.

Second, the term “gun control” is liberal terminology that doesn’t belong in the conservative republican vocabulary. Firearms Freedom is a more accurate description of what we’re talking about.

(Applause)

Third, gun registration by the government is the first step towards gun confiscation by the government, so unlike some of the other candidates, I will not tell you exactly how many firearms I own. I don’t want the government tearing down my door and stealing my guns like they did in New Orleans.

(Wild applause)

Cooper: Okay. Okay. Let’s quiet down.

(Swelling wild applause)

Alright, we’d better go to commercial break.
