[AT] Arc Welding ?

[Phil Auten]

This brings back to mind the warning we got a few years ago about welding
while wearing contact lenses. DON'T DO IT! It seems that the welding helmet
combined with the contacts caused the contacts to be "welded" to the corneas.
Not a good thing. Let's be careful out there!
