**[SIZE=“3”]FOUND![/SIZE]** In my car after all. Jammed between the driver’s seat and the console. It’s dark when I leave for work and dark when I get home. With daylight and some time to spare today I found the buggers. Both arms were bent and they were dirty with salt water splotches, but they cleaned up nicely and the arms were straightened with no discernable damage. 😃 This makes me incredibly happy! 😃 ---

My eyesight/glasses kept me out of Viet Nam in the '60s! During one of my out-of-town contracts, I lived just under a mile from a small lake, and I would walk to the lake each evening and walk back, for my exercise. There was a landing that I would sit on while watching for the wildlife. I enjoyed going right at dusk to watch for owls and bats. I was sitting on the landing one evening, when I saw a dark shape swooping over the water, as I turned my head to look, a buzzing insect was flying around my head, and I waved my hand to shoo it away. Somehow, while turning my head and simultaneously swatting at a buzzing insect, I managed to knock my glasses off of my face. I didn’t hear a splash, but a quick brailing of the landing proved to me that the glasses were not there. Fortunately, I was within normal walking distance from the room I was renting. The next day, I rode the bus to work, so I could compose an email to let the rest of my team know why I would be late. Then another bus to Lens Crafters. I really liked those glasses. They came with a pair of matching sunglasses that attached to the glasses frame with little magnets. I still have the snap-on sunglasses. ---

That would be me. But I LIKE looking like a nearsighted bug! My wearovers are … reflective cop / hipppie blue 😃 🆒 Hello, friend!
