Eye test booked, dont think the lady on the phone looked at my records as she asked if I wanted the retina scan. Pretty sure they will be doing that when I get there.

#Special #Myopic

Edgar Wallace schrieb "Die Toten Augen Von London", in der Realität sind es "Die Blinden Augen Von Gilching". Die Werte an sich sind schon schlecht, die Kombination der Werte macht daraus eine exotische Herausforderung. Sieben Wochen hat es bis zu den neuen Linsen gedauert. Der Frust über die eigne Blindheit sitzt tief. Wenn ich einen Führerschein hätte, müsste ich ihn wahrscheinlich abgeben.

The MAGA legions
wear red threads made in China
and preach American exceptionalism
dispensing missives of ethnic nationalism
that have sparked conflicts
throughout history

Wrapped in red white and blue
the America First crew
eschews the world view
for a narrow #myopic
reality
that have fueled wars
throughout history

Peeking out from behind the wall
the protectionism mob
of anti globalist guardians
practice excessive tariff levies
guaranteed to wreck economies

and so it goes...

Events will spiral out of control

Of course
those pulling the strings
from behind the scenes will profit

Strife will be the norm for the rest

Perhaps this time
our ignorance proves fatal

Death being the ultimate destiny
of empires throughout history

Or maybe

This latest episode
of self inflicted agony
will make the best painful lesson
that resonates with us for once

An ignorant child
who burns their hand
on a hot stove
learns to never do it again

At least in theory

As someone who’s been #shortsighted since… 1968 (at least) the best way for a #myopic person to see a #city, is at night, without their glasses on.

It’s like you’re in a #VanGogh painting! Magical.

Jeez.

First there was talk of the "Autism Epidemic" now there's apparently a "Myopia Epidemic"

What next? A mathematician epidemic? A cravat wearing epidemic? A Rubik cube epidemic?

I ask about those because I'm both #autistic and #myopic. I just want to ensure I'm not spreading ;)

2030 news flash

"The WHO held emergency talks this morning to find ways to combat the current outbreak and possible pandemic of Pete. To date 3 Million cases of Pete have been reported. We go live to our reporter on the scene Dav... er.. sorry I mean , we now go live to Pete.

Aw not you too!"
