I think I’ve been getting too much screen time; and it isn’t all my bicycle computer. Or maybe too much time in the sun wearing cheap-o sunglasses?

My good sunglasses broke not quite a month ago; and they couldn’t be repaired. They were prescription lenses, too; and cost an arm and a leg. There’s an optical shop a short walk from home; but they couldn’t make me a new pair of those glasses without a current prescription. The only copy I could find is about four years old; and I haven’t been able to get hold of my ophthalmologist (the clinic is in the process of relocating) to get a current copy.

So there I was, limping along with a pair of toy sunglasses. They were better than nothing; but not really suited for several hours in bright sunlight. Then, today, they broke! So I had to go for a pair of regular, aka non-prescription, sunglasses. I chose a pair of Ray-Ban.  I remember seeing commercials for them on TV when I was a kid, so the brand has been around quite a while.
