Specs

It may very well be time for me to give in and get some reading glasses. Through much of high school and college, I wore them when I got tired, but I haven’t needed them for the past ten years, nor do I want to need them. But, alas, twice recently I’ve dreamed about buying or wearing glasses, and I’ve been having more incidents than usual in which words on a sign or page are garbled. Today, for example, I was excited to see the headline “Tomato Batters Florida Town” until I realized it was actually a story about a tornado, which is not nearly as entertaining. I guess that’s the silver lining of my vision starting to decline: a world in which Attack of the Killer Tomatoes is a reality.
