My hearing is going and my arms are not long enough anymore..sigh...


Arms aren't long enough for what, reading or wrestlin' with Rosie?


Reading and fine detail work. I used to be able to pick out six points
of similarity on any of my fingerprints..while still on my
fingers..now Im having trouble focusing on my fingertips unless they
are at least 16" away..or more

Distance vision is still good, and can still use peep sights just
dandy, nor has it hurt my pistol shooting..but even soldering a board
needs reading glasses now. 1.25x from the dollar store work fine. At
the moment....


I'm in the trifocal "progressive" lenses. And thinking about getting a
set of reading 1/2 glasses to slip in front for reading mics and stuff.

Urg. Too soon old ...

We didn't have these sorts of problems when I was a boy,
back when snakes wore shoes and dirt was $2 a pound,
if you could find it. We had to make our own from rocks!
