Do you wear glasses? When you wear them for years, it’s hard to tell if you have them on or not. I don’t wear them for close-up work, but my driver’s license requires them. I often reach up to check if I have them on, because I can’t tell otherwise.
Yep, ditto… I take them off to do computer work or when reading. I don’t need to but it’s easier then keeping my head in the position to see through the narrow bifocal spot.

agree w/doc about reaching for the glasses–
however,i detest hatch and i believe that he is more comfortable w/dems than he is w/true conservatives/libertarians–
a couple of stories from today that i bet he either votes for or is ok with–
the republicans are going to raise the budget of the irs so that they can properly implement the tax bill–yeah,right–
the captains of the navy ships that were involved in collisions last year are probably going to be charged w/homicide–
I saw the criminal / homicide charge(s) in the news, I’m no lawyer, but that is real serious. I question if these leaders ‘willfully’ did not uphold their duties? If so, is this a hold over symptom from the O Bama years. If the charges prove true, that type of leadership culture began long before Trump was elected.
I also saw the top commander for fleet operations had previously announced his retirement after these incidents, now is being asked to leave.

I think 80 should be the age limit for any Federal employee. Judge, Senator, President all of them. I would make it 75 but a lot of people are still pretty spry at that age but after 80 almost everyone becomes enfeebled and starts losing IQ.
And if the voters are electing and re electing them at that age now, it is unlikely there would be enough popular support to do it.

This is a Mandela effect for me. I thought Hatch retired ages ago. If he was the senior senator serving since the 70’s, how’d he fly so far under the radar during the past election cycle? I can’t think of a single mention of this dude in the past few years- since Bush.
Hatch is a uniquely Utahn phenomenon – a Senator who got along with nearly all the rest (even Al Franken?) but spent most of his career being quiet and working behind the scenes. He built a fortune in generic vitamins / supplements, and is the reason the FDA has not been able to outlaw them. However, a lot of what he worked quietly on – and got done – did not help America. The reason that NSA data collection / storage facility is in Utah is Hatch – so he’s complicit in the surveillance society. He helped put Sotomayor on the SCOTUS; the most recent tax bill has his fingerprints on it. He’s done more quiet, subtle things as well.
I would have voted for a different candidate last year, but the Republican machine (Utah is owned and run by the LDS church and Republican party; they are currently trying to convince a sceptical audience that Mittens Romney would be a good Senator, despite being basically a Michigan / Massachutsetts globalist product) wouldn’t let anyone else win the primary. Orrin could be replaced by something far worse, unless Trump has Wikileaks-level evidence to release, and releases it soon.
HSF, Trump highlighted him prominently after passage of his recent tax bill. Prior to that I just remember his name being part of the background noise of DC.

I’ve got glasses that are so light and perfectly fitting that I often forget I’m wearing them. I’ve even gone to bed wearing them and on occasion I reach up to take them off when I’m not wearing them.
Silhouettes. Check ’em out. Light as a feather and they hug your head.
I assume he remembered to wear actual pants that day.

That would require amending the Constitution.

Was he kept in a broom closet or something?
