I'm outta here!
We're on our way! While we're driving, I thought I'd leave you guys this article to chew on. Does this make any sense to you? Who thought to try this? And, is this what they mean by eye teeth? (har!)

Blind Irishman sees with the aid of son's tooth in his eye
An Irishman blinded by an explosion two years ago has had his sight restored after doctors inserted his son's tooth in his eye, he said on Wednesday...What do you suppose it looks like? Now I'm really curious.
The technique, pioneered in Italy in the 1960s, involves creating a support for an artificial cornea from the patient's own tooth and the surrounding bone...
McNichol's right eye socket was rebuilt, part of the tooth inserted and a lens inserted in a hole drilled in the tooth...
"Now I have enough sight for me to get around and I can watch television. I have come out from complete darkness to be able to do simple things," McNichol said.
Take care!

Eye teeth - hahahaha!
That is really weird, but I guess if it's working for him, great!
Have a good trip!

Enjoy your Iowa trip!
That "seeing eye" tooth story is very strange!
I'm glad the guy got some vision back though, but boy is that weird.
