tinhuviel | Friday Pictures (Reply)

I have two pictures here. One is of what's left of that trailer that burned the other night. The other is of my new sunglasses. Now... about the sunglasses.... I've always had a deep affection for little round 60s Hippie glasses. I wore them pretty much exclusively from the late 80s through the 90s, until I couldn't find them anymore when I'd lose or break a pair. Yesterday, when I went to our local That's a Dollar Plus store to get a loaf of bread for cheap, I stopped to look at the sunglasses. They had about a dozen pairs of little round sunglasses for $1.00 apiece. I had to get a pair! Since I was already saving $2.50 on the bread, I figured a little luxury like these glasses could be something I could afford.

Some folks may think that I'm trying to emulate a certain musician who took to wearing similar sunglasses in the late 80s, but I'm not. It's truly just a coincidence that we have this in common and, to be honest, I find it a tad disturbing, but not so much that I won't wear my sunglasses with relish every chance I get. And I plan on going to get an extra pair if we do good at the flea market on Sunday. So,

falkenna, feel free to cackle at me and get it out of your system, but I reiterate: coincidence. We were wearing these exclusively from each other years before we ever knew the other existed in this Vale of Tears. So, shut up.
