The Self Handicap: Never Worn Glasses, But Maybe Should Have
It's fully off-topic Sunday. Maybe that'll mean two posts today. I don't want to misplace this particular topic though, so let's catch it while I'm still thinking of it. On-topic and all.

Surprising: Steve’s (-6.75) 3 Months Progress Report

Today's Q&A is probably a result of my not having explained the best use for the differential (reduced for close-up use) prescription more clearly. No less than three of the same question in the same thread, in one single day. Oops. I answered in the forum of course, but [...]
