Subj : Other Ham Radio News To : Daryl Stout From : Barry Martin Date : Wed Oct 27 2021 07:02:00 Hi Daryl! DS> Depends on where his rock is. :P BM> In the rain! DS> Q: If you throw a white stone into the Red Sea, what will it DS> become?? A: Wet. Oh whew! I was thinking of what would happen to the Red Sea wih an addiional stone -- after a while all those stones would fill the Sea up! BM> Yup! A good laugh is sometimes a better than a good psychiatrist. (Bet BM> it would be hard to find a psychiatrist would would have done the BM> ornament thing!) DS> I saw a post in another echo, where this elderly woman was to DS> have dental work done. Just before the dentist started, he said DS> "Ma'am, do you know your fingers are around my testicles??". She DS> replied "Yes...and we're not going to hurt each other, are we DS> sonny??". Can you say "No Pressure"?? Overthinking Alert! So she's quite flexible, he's wearing shorts.... Not sure if this is betting better or worse! BM> You should go out some night and check things out: see (literally) how BM> the street light appears, a semi-distant lit window, the Moon. View BM> with both eyes, then left, then right. I'm thinking the foggyness BM> might be due to the brain mixing the signals for stereoscopic vision BM> and not realizing it's just one eye. Knowing that still would be a BM> good idea to be cautious! Also, don't look directly at the on-coming BM> headlights but look "to the right" of them. You'll still see the car BM> in your peripheral vision, I'm not sure of exactly where to look as BM> I've done since learning to drive but guessing the other side of your BM> lane. DS> The eye doctor didn't note that, but said it was "a film on the DS> lens", which develops after cataract surgery. Regardless, I'm not DS> going out at night until after the surgery (maybe never again), DS> and with the time change a week from Sunday, it'll be dark DS> earlier. Ah! I don't recall the part about the film on the lens; still should be ways to compensate. ...I'm also thinking what would you do if you needed to go out at night (say to pick up medication)? Maybe polarized sunglasses (not too darkly tinted!!), those yellow 'driving' glasses? BM> Give him a consolidation prize of ABC Gum! DS> A Big...never mind. Already Been Chewed! BM> Those can be fun! Especially if purchase a extended period pass BM> allowing you to hop on and off to explore for free. DS> I had purchased "A Day Pass", so I could ride as often as I DS> wanted. Yup! BM> Cue "Come a Little Bit Closer" (Jay and the Americans), mix with BM> something from _Twilight Zone_, maybe a dash of _Bizarre Murders_.... DS> You're always so full of good news. :P Being full of news is better than something else!! ¯ BarryMartin3@ ® ¯ @MyMetronet.NET ® ....
