New Toy
You know you're getting old when you get a new toy...and then you realize that new toy is a magnifier for reading your map.
A few weeks ago I bought a pair of sports reading glasses. The glasses look like any other pair of sports glasses. But, the lower part of the glasses has built in magnifying. You can see a pair at OrienteringsSpecialisten.
As my eyes get older, I have more and more trouble reading the detail on an O' map. I've been using a magnifier that attaches to my thumb since 2001. The sports reading glasses are the next step.
Yep...my cool new toy is a pair of reading glasses...sad, isn't it?
