Memoral Day

The day to remember all those that have given their all so you and I can vote, speak our piece, and say in print what we like or dislike about anything without the fear of repercussion. Keep up with the events to our south in Venezuela for the "democratization" of a country by Chavez, the dictator. The opposing tv station went off the air today when it protested his decisions.

We both have contacts. Shirley went in for multi focal lenses and got bifocal. Which are not working for her. She needs to see close up as well as distance to drive. She has gone back and will try the mono vision which is one lens for distance and one for closeup. They are on order.

My first time is now. I asked for distance and to be able to see the roads signs before I get there. So far in my 3rd day, I got blurred vision and I can see 50 yards. Further or closer is not readable. I have bought some reading glasses at +1.25 to see the computer and read a paper. Putting the lens in the eye is a trip. Not use to sticking my finger in my eye. And taking out the lenses is worse. For me its not fun. The lenses are so thin that they fold readily and are hard to handle. Shirley had to put the left lens in twice. We have a backup pair and we are on the left backup now. The other one is torn or something.

It has rained since we moved in. It is sprinkling now and there is rain, 30% or better, in the forecast till next Saturday. Our wet towels don't dry its so humid.
