congratulate me

I've officially joined the ranks of the (slightly) visually impaired!

Then I drove back to work wearing a roll-up sheet of tinted plastic to protect my dilated pupils from the devilish sun, and the splint I just bought to prevent my possibly arthritic finger from getting any worse... except when I'm working, writing, or making music.

It hasn't been a great week. I'll probably feel good about finally having dealt with my gradually blurring vision, though, once I get done feeling bad about not having dealt with it years ago.

On the way to my appointment--back when I could see--I saw a small truck with the vanity plate "RY CLEV", superimposed on a white board that said "VE" on one side and "ER" on the other. And it was!

It'd be even more cool if they had a button to contract the "VE" and "ER" if they detected you were getting too close behind them.

I once saw a boat that had an expensive paint job and lettering declaring itself super extreme. "Xtreme" is more extreme than "extreme," and this boat was, as it said on the side, "Xtrem."

What the hell does "ERRY CLEVVE" mean?
