Just re-watched the Original "BodySnatchers " yesterday and thought of DOA [the film] as both

so ... as is also Conrad's "Heart of Darkness" and also "Catcher in the Rye" but most readers, and more sadly = teachers, do not realize... and miss the point ...

My Eyes' test ... 20 years ago .. I had an odd dot in my eye and was curious but not worried and saw nothing in my wee bathroom mirror ...
there was a minor accident of falling objects at work which hit my occipital lobe and eye and my supervisor was adamant that I file a report and go to the eye doctor .... as I had the weird dot I said ok = day off and free eye exam ... nothing from the falling computer parts but the dot was an actual seed had been blowing about and stuck and growing in my eye ... she plucked it ...
doctor said she had never seen such a thing ...

Not related but needed glasses at 52 and now at 62 need the glasses and magnifying glass ...
