      good morning campers......what a fabulous day it is today!!!.... everyday can be a fabulous day!....well one of my grandkids just got glasses....she's so excited about them......so now that's 2 grands with glasses...they both look so cute...........i remember when i was back in elementary school how i wanted glasses.....they were so groovy on everyone....but alas i had 20/20 vision and beyond.......when the eye doc would say read the lowest line on the chart i could read the "made in china" line........not so much now....
         the first time i realized something was amiss with my vision was when i was painting the kindergarten mural for am davis........my vision would kind of go double when i was really concentrating....and i'm like..."what is going on?"..............i go to the eye doc and they say "you have a little nearsightedness....or is that farsightedness?.....not sure, but it's the one where you don't see close up very well....it's kinda like fiction or non fiction ....or left brain or right brain....what's so bad is it's just 2 things you are comparing but i can not remember what is what for anything.....i even made up that thing where you make something up to help you remember...what a minute...............mnemonic devise....but maybe that's not it......cause i would say not true for non fiction?.....not sure if that's right ....hold up a minute again....no it's the opposite...not false......which is like a double negative and very confusing.......you think it would be easy to remember 2 things, but maybe not...........i have played guitar since 3rd grade and i still can not remember the names of the strings......well i know both e's and the a........but after that i always mess them up.....it's just 6 strings..........it's like doing story problems, which i have talked about before......the 5:00 train leaves the station at 12, and carried 9 tons of blah blah blah........i've already zoned out..........my neighbor tells me this when she talks taxes to me, or anything to do with money....what?.....i just zoned out on myself.........she says "why am i talking to you about this, you have already left the building"........it's not that i have left the building, it's just the way the sun was lighting up the dust speck that was floating near her head made me think of incorporating that into this painting i was working on........anyway.........
           but back to the vision thing.......so back then i just needed readers....which helped alot!.....what a difference in being able to paint! and read!....woo hoo.......... now the eye doc said i need real glasses.....not strong just a weak prescription..... cause now i have the other of what i had before......basically both sightednesses....or both non sightednesses?.....so after dragging my feet and things are kinda blurry out there and it would be nice to not be squinting to see far away......... i decided to try the bifocal glasses....instead of having 2 pairs of glasses to keep up with i would just need one!.....makes sense........well when i got them i  about walked into a wall when i put them on....besides making me extremely dizzy.... how can anybody see out of 2 inches of glass.....cause when you look straight ahead its all good, but look down and you fall over or run into things until you look up again which starts the dizzy proccess all over again..........how do you see the world???........i took them back and got the 1 vision glasses....much better...... but not being used to wearing glasses all the time, they ended up on the top of my head cause i would think they were the reading glasses.......and there i am squinting to see far away again, till i realized....oh put my glasses on.............it's been quite a journey getting used to wearing glasses.........but i can say that "wow i can really see stuff now!"........i can even see the exit sign before i pass it and go...oops that was my exit......."oops that was my exit"......

            so while reading glasses help you to read,
            and seeing glasses help you to see,
          remembering the difference between 2 things,
          is trickier than it should be... 
         two leaves the station at 1,
         and 1 leaves the station at 2,
         good bye to you,  1 and two,
          was this non fiction or completely true................?

           sometimes i wonder about myself........be groovy
