<VV> Magnets now glasses and cars

[Frank DuVal]

I didn't have your lost glasses trouble, since I've had to wear glasses 
full time since the third grade.

I have broken many a lens when a wrench slips, typically under the car. 
So far my polycarbonate plastic lenses have saved my eyes. Always kept 
an old pair at the shop so I could drive to order a new one. It's really 
odd to drive with cracks in your lens. Since I closed the shop I have 
been able to a few years out of a pair of glasses. Before that I usually 
had them soldered together before the yearly eye appointment.

My Ophthalmologist keeps selling me on Lasik, but I tell him I need the 
physical protection of a lens. I'll save my money for other surgery.

Getting old is not for sissies!

I finally disciplined myself not to take them off, as they're 100% less 
likely to get sat on or lost that way. I've had this pair a long time. 
My glasses could still get smashed if something smashes my face, true, 
but if that happens I likely have bigger problems. :-)
