    I think I'll pass on that one in favor of my regular glasses at night. Having the darkest tint offered on my prescription sunglasses really doesn't sound like it would do anything productive at night, especially when I already have awful night vision. Does it actually help, though?

    He said he was backed up. It was just a suggestion. Maybe a bit more fiber could help.

    The way they drive in Mississippi, 35 s too fast for some. 35 sounds dangerous. I’ll grab the hammer lane, due to some drivers freaking out, causing wrecks. Or I’ll get off the road for a few. Don’t need to be in the middle of someone’s accident.

    I actually tried those first, and they were not loud enough to suit me. gas_fog_horn.jpg.cf.jpg

    It makes a huge difference wit polarized sunglasses. For some reason they just cut right through the mist.
