The actor currently playing the role of "Sir Paul McCartney" (version 2.0 since 1966) is blind in his RIGHT EYE, and he has a PROSTHETIC RIGHT EYE, which occasionally comes out of alignment with his good eye. See the research of: Cat Thompson at "Supernatural Beatles" on Substack, and researcher Sallie Witte on Mike Williams' various "Paul is Dead" channels.

A fantastic read. You are an incredible writer. Also makes me think of my Palentine German ancestors from the 1700s, some of whom ended up in the glass industry in Eastern Pennsylvania in the 1800s. I should look into that more.

Wow! Life! The Universe is universal! G-d works is plain site! Two pheasants give their life for the cause! My heartfelt appreciation goes out to them! Where is that glass eye factory?

Enjoyed immensely - 'jeepers creepers, where'd you get them peepers, jeepers, creepers, where'd you get them eyes'?

Made me think of a favorite old song.

What a story! Truth is always stranger than fiction.

My brother was good friends with someone who turned out to be serial killer who was labeled the "eyeball killer". His mother introduced him to taxidermy as a child but wouldn't give him the glass eyeballs he wanted to use, she only let him use buttons.

Thanks! This really hit home for me because Bucks Co. is where my (deceased) mom lived for many years. I applaud their loving ways that are deserving of all the success in the world. Lastly, it would be quite a coincidence and I wonder if my grandpa's glass eye came from them?

Awesome story Celia, very fascinating. Thank you for sharing.

I wonder how many of their eyes I have seen picking up taxidermy items for sets at Bischoff's in Burbank. Now they are in the North Hollywood area that is Burbank adjacent.

Every set of seeing eyes takes in a unique set of experiences, most of which we take with us when we go.
