Simply random stuff

And, because I spend a lot of time out in the sun with my work...and a lot of time driving at night....with my work....I opted for lenses that have an anti glare factor. It really helps.

Having worked for a retina specialist I might suggest getting a simple Amsler Grid & check it occasionally. Any change from the previous usage such as wavy lines or dark spots, see your doc right away. Fortunately your still on the young side. Keep up those ant-oxidants like Luetine and Xeanithine & wear those shades.

I have generally been a lens junky over the decades. Luxotica kept gobbling up competitors and with an almost monopoly kept cranking up prices every year. I found another optom that uses Zeiss lenses & saved probably $300. Yes there is the Warber Parky rout but for things like this I prefer to keep things F2F & build a relationship with the doc.

My eyeglasses that I’ve had for two years have:
- thin lenses
- progressive
- transition
- uv protection
- anti-glare
- scratch resistant

Essentially, all the bells and whistles. They cost about half of yours plus I then got a 30% AARP discount. However, it wouldn’t surprise me to see a mega price increase when I go for my next pair.

Yeah, this is double what I spent for similar 4 years ago.

I just dropped $1200 on new glasses. Geez......OK, insurance is paying half the bill. Still....WOW!

dunno but I guess my retina detachments L&R from 2019 were a blessing in disguise cause you have to have cataract surgery and usual procedure is to correct any myopia or hypermetropia with the lenses they put in (not a big deal, it takes about 20 mins for each eye) and it has been weird cause I had been wearing glasses since I was 10 and now I only wear reading glasses...I DO miss wearing my glasses, my eyes felt safer...

I didn't wear glasses until I was about 50, then had them for reading. A couple of years ago, I had cataract surgery, and still have them for reading. Like now.

Like @GOS , I have progressive lenses with anti-glare. If I could just get the self-cleaning type.

I went to eye DR today. My prescription has doubled. In 4-5 years. Ugh.....

If you've never been to Croatia, you should put it on your bucket list. The entire country, along with its neighbor Slovenia, is like a real life Disney World. And then throw in a rock concert with these heavyweights for icing on the cake!

If the manager, truly had Smokin’ taste in music, he’d have a JT T-shirt instead

I will never forget that Humble Pie were amazing in a New Year's eve concert in Toronto. All is forgiven.
& you're right.

"I'm always struck by the physicality of a launch," says Anthony Rue, a Florida café owner who has been watching and photographing launches since the days of Saturn V. "Back in the 1970s there was an audio device called Sensurround that was used in disaster movies like Earthquake to create a subsonic seismic 'experience' in the theatre.

"Launches, from up close, are a bit like Sensurround," says Rue. "You can feel a slight tremble, then a building rumble in your chest before you can hear any actual sound. The subsonic bass frequencies make your ears crackle. After a few seconds, the sound coalesces into a roar, like a massive welding torch."

I have a blu-ray I picked up at the Smithsonian Air & Space museum when I lived near DC titlled “Space Station 3-D.” It was shown in one of their theaters for years. It has a shuttle launch that definitely kicks butt in my room, as it did when I saw it in their theater.

many winters we get to enjoy cave dwelling thanks to Lake Michigan. have not been able to the last few years

Lake Michigan Ice caves are formed by the wind and wave action, westerly winds push slushy ice up along the shoreline.
Layer after layer freezes on top of each other, and forms huge piles of ice. Some of them reach thirty feet high.

The first pic is from others. the second is my wife
