In Search of Sunglasses

 Tuesday surprised me. I wanted to go to this store I saw called Shade Shack. I've been wearing Dollar Store sunglasses and liking them more or less my whole adult life. What did these mythical Ray-Ban and Oakley sunglasses actually look like? It was a total lark. I knew that I didn't want any of the super-expensive sunglasses from the display case but it was fun to look at them. The cool guys running the place explained what makes a pair of sunglasses $85 without  a big pitch.

I was pretty excited about finding two different $15 pairs that I thought looked good on me. More importantly, I liked the improved field of vision over the pair I had been using. Getting zapped by headlights or sunlight that goes around the lens is annoying! I think of one pair as my mean glasses and the other as my nice ones. 

We went out for dinner to a place called Nick's.. I'm still debating whether or not to provide a link to any website that they might have. (I'm hanging my hat on not.) Their food was great and the service was top notch but I won't be going again. They claim to be handicap accessible and they might be ADA compliant in the technical sense. I know that I had to go through the embarrassment of needing help with their wheelchair ramps.

They belonged in an amusement park not not a restaurant! When I got into the bathroom, I had to play a game of wheelchair Tetris to get into the stall and then it was a good thing that I have full use of three limbs that can reach the floor and one that can't. I needed them all for the required gymnastics in there. I'm in relatively good shape considering only the use of my limbs and applying them. If you're someone in a wheelchair with only the use of your arms, I don't see how you could do ir but you would have different training than I do.

The cream of crab soup calmed me down considerably. In fact, I was so sleepy that I couldn't finish it. There may have been something else between the soup and the ribs but I don't remember it. I only had one rib in the restaurant and it was to die for so I forgave them for the wheelchair ramps. I just won't dare go back. 

If you don't mind, I'm going to break the fourth wall a bit. I started this entry on Wednesday, October 11 and I'm finishing it from home on Tuesday, October 17. If I have forgotten something, that doesn't mean it was easy to forget.

Tuesday ended like most days with me falling asleep sitting up for several hours followed by several more hours asleep in bed. When I got up, it was Wednesday and that was another story.
