Trip May 31 - June 16, 2024

 Here are some instagram posts from my extended car camping trip -- tho I also stayed indoors sometimes

Please note that a lot of these instagram posts have multiple photos or videos, so you should click through to see everything.

There were tornadoes that night.  They sounded like military aircraft buzzing the campground.  I spend a half hour locked in a shower, because it seemed safer than my car

The next day, the ranger told me she saw, I think 3, tornadoes -- but they were all spiraling upwards.  She didn't know if any touched down.

Glasses

I’ve been going kind of nuts recently buying glasses online, because they’re so cheap.

Here are a couple of pairs that I got from Vooglam


These are progressives. They are currently the
ones that  wear the most


This is a pair of mono focal intermediate range glasses that I use on my computer




This pair has a monofocal reading prescription



This pair is monofocal distance
I got it because casting directors kept wanting an Iris Apfel look


This pair is monofocal distance 
I use it for hiking or other outdoor activities
It's also useful for driving because it fits under my sunglasses, 
which the other pairs don't.


This pair is safety glasses.  I decided to get it as bifocals, which I had never tried.  Since they wrap around, I thought progressives wouldn't work.  I really like the improved peripheral vision that I get with the wrap arounds.   Unfortunately the transition area between the near prescription and the distance prescription is not well done.  There's a large blurry area at the point of transition, which is dangerous.
