QR

I’ve mentioned it passing [CAA Repercussions]. I want to state it outright. We have solved Milton’s NQR. (Greg modifies this with – to the extent one ever can with a horse.

Looking sideways and seeing rainbow halos: Groovy. Because of the way progressive lenses are built, I have to learn to move my head rather than cut my eyes, for example lookingContinue reading “New Glasses”
