On Wednesday I went to Chicago to have the newest Doctor (the only doctor) in our family look me in the eyes. She sort of laughed at my eye test results. She wondered how I (and my lovely bride) had survived our travels across the US of A without having a fender bender or two. In her terms Esther and I were both close to being shut down by something called legally blind for driving a vehicle. When we were in Jamaica Mark kept telling me how vivid and bright the big dipper was. I did see Venus plainly - - - but - - the big dipper? Well I was just faking the sight of the wonder of the sky. I never did see it. All I can say is if Mark saw it I am sure it was there. Seeing it however is something I was only imagining. We are really looking forward to our new glasses. We will be able to read the scores of the ball games without using binoculars.
