Now that it is in franchise mode the gloss has gone. It is pity that any successful movie series gets franchised to death and ends up a shadow of itself.

The movie industry overall has tanked IMHO. Done and dusted. Once they wore tuxedos and evening gowns to awards ceremonies and now it it seem to be a race to wear less underwear than the next person. Sigh.............

My other half is very much afflicted. She’s also a master of putting half a cuppa down in the most random spots around the house.

I have to go back and get another set of glasses made, even reading the computer screen is starting to get difficult.

if you're health insurance covers it, get a new set every year. you need a stash of glasses everywhere. Went away for a couple of nights thinking I could sit down with a good book. cant see shit on the pages. and i chose to bring a real book, not the kindle where i could supersize the font

Had lens exchange surgery 2 years ago, solved the problem of carrying, losing and standing on glasses. Not cheap but definitely game changing!

I had to look that up! Sounded like something you would do with your gas bottles. When your old lenses wore out going into the servo and use the swap and go. lol

I had Lasik surgery done about 15 years ago and my distance vision is still great. Close up is starting to fail me and I have a few pairs of reading glasses for when I need to read tiny print or get a splinter out.

You are still going extremly fast though. You know you are getting old when I tried to keep up with the local gun 18 year old on a green down hill trail was going Ok until he realized I was behind him then he hit it and was just a blur disappearing off into the distance.

That still happens to me don't you worry. I was riding with local gun Harvey Lee the other day and I had no hope of keeping up with him on the descent!
