Dear @Cecil_Adams …

Not the police.  
I didn’t break the law.

But the blue light from screens. I have a screen in my face far too much. Cel phone, tablet, laptop, fire reader, TV, ATM, CGM reader, that screen in the car, self checkout, maybe even my alarm clock.  
I think I’m having some symptoms of over exposure. Is there a Screen-screen (as opposed to sun-screen)?  
No I’m not buying Cindy Crawford’s (my face is so precious and valuable, now that I do infomercials I must use rotten melon juice) Lotion. I need something I can get at the Walmart for a sawbuck.

Am I gonna turn into a Dorian Grey face? You know rot, worms, eyeball hanging out?

I moisturize and wear sunscreen makeup.  
I got enough problems. I do not need this.

Where are you @Cecil_Adams ? Are you in Patagonia? Are you down there showing the local yokels calculations of engineering formulas for parlor tricks? I’d be sorely disappointed to know this.

Call @Ed_Zotti collect, tell him to shoot you some info. File it in that big ol’ brain and help me.

Seriously this may be an emergency.

Since we’re such good friends I thought only to ask you, big guy.

Love ya, beck.
