I'm a freak!

In a new and yet oddly appropriate way:

I went in to get a new presciption for my glasses, since the anti-glare film on my old glasses died, giving my vision many of the benefits of severe cataracts. Eye-exams were delisted from OHIP, either as part of the program to contain costs or because there were not enough foggy eyed drivers out there to feed the body banks. Happily, it turns out that my eyes are so crappy, I'm one of the exceptions and OHIP covers _my_ eye exams.

But that isn't the amusing discovery. I don't know if I can put this coherently but apparently once my vision is corrected to 20/20, there's a particular class of objects that I can see as though my vision were in fact 20/15 or better. Anyone care to guess what specific sort of object I can resolve at a distance out of keeping with my general eyesight?

RFI: Monocles

I only use one eye so why am I getting two lenses? Anyone know how much monocles cost and if they are still made?

An Eddy Update

I watched Eddy watching me unravel the plastic wrap last night so I know the exact moment when he realized plastic wrap behaves just like a roll of toilet paper. I only realized what that look meant when I caught him in the kitchen, having opened the appropriate drawer to take the roll of plastic wrap out where he could try to unravel it.

Since he waited until I was in bed before starting his experiment, I am guessing he wasn't too surprised when I took the wrap away from him. Pity for him the sound of a drawer being quietly opened in the middle of the night in a building where I am the only human is one that will make me go investigate.
