Narrative

EE had to reposition himself to complete his job and as he did the lime dust was disturbed. The dust collector was running @ this time. The drafting of the fan inside the wizard and EE disturbing the lime caused the lime particles to be sucked up around and underneath EE's safety glasses and into his right eye.
