I can particularly relate to this because I started wearing glasses when I was 4-years old. At 7, I "graduated" to wearing a patch on the right eye of my glasses. Some of the names people called me included "Pirate" and "Four-eyed Freak." Rather than play sports after school, I went to eye training to strengthen my eye muscle. I would go into a dark room where there were other kids with weird eyes sitting at stations. We watched little red foxes jump over fences. There were also spinning black and white spirographs.   The whole field of "Eye Training" was debunked ... and I eventually had to have two eye operations anyway. One to pull the muscle out (for crossed-eyes) and the other, decades later, to pull the muscle in (for wandering eye). It has been an ocular journey, for sure. ^    ^   .    .     | ` ~~~ '

It was a great distraction from the election to do something for an under-privileged neighboring community at risk for home fires. As part of the American Red Cross Smoke Alarm blitz, my dear friend and I distributed flyers and door tags to let people know that the AMRC will be coming around on Saturday to distribute free smoke alarms.  What a good feeling to know that perhaps this small effort will have saved a life in the future.

Here are some of the stats: Each year, the Red Cross responds to nearly 66,000 disasters, the vast majority of which are home fires.  On average: 7 people die every day from a home fire 36 people suffer injuries as a result of home fires every day Over $7 billion in property damage occurs every year Can your family escape in just 2 minutes ?

A Photographically Dreamlike Sequence:  "Svala's Saga" By Bonni Brodnick Lookout ,  Emma Powell + Kristen Hoving In this stunning photographic and fantastical narrative,  Svala’s Saga  captures the world on the precipice of extermination. Through the hybrid process of platinum palladium over a digital under-print similar to watercolor, one is swept into a dreamy, chronological fairy tale that relates something profound: the pressing environmental curse of species’ extinction. The surreal and dreamlike plot is about a young woman (Svala) and her discovery that all of the birds are gone. Rather than be overwhelmed by the certitude of the earth’s demise, the viewer joins Svala on her dream-like quest. As we experience Svala’s journey through the wilderness in search for the last remaining eggs, we see her climbing ledges of volcanic flows, standing on the crests of mountainous impasses, at the edge of a crevasse, or atop a glacier. Svala’s small ch...

Many thanks to Malaria for her appropriate fashion statement at the 2nd debate on Sunday. The pink " Pussy-bow silk crepe de chine shirt" by Gucci was a distraction (NOT) from her husband's earlier spew on a hot mic about grabbing women "by the p*ssy."   We would also like to congratulate the stylist for selecting a shirt whose moniker couldn't have been more perfect for Mrs. Trump's first television appearance since the newsbreak at midnight on Friday.
