Yer damned if you do, damned if you don't. It's like biking in the rain
when I was a kid...WITH my glasses I couldn't see a thing through the
coating of water, and WITHOUT them I was blind as a bat. Accounts for a
lot of my scars, it does.
But yeah, goggles would have been a smart move. Of course, we could
talk
all day about the various modelling screw-ups I've experienced. There
was
the time I sent a GZG building shooting across the room with a belt
sander,
the time I embedded an x-acto knife in my thumb (Quote as I looked at
the
blood welling up: "Oh, *this* is gonna hurt." And you know what? It
did.)
