crazy: got my blinders on

Limited eyesight is a good thing.

I stopped wearing contact lenses years ago- having decent peripheral vision and nothing to limit my field of view meant that I'd notice more things going on around me. Global events and personal events whorl around in giant ugly patterns that can weave into a rather hideous tapestry, when seen in the light of day.

So I've taken to wearing sunglasses most of the time. They work reasonably well-- though that pair of old safety glasses is waiting for an upgrade. Selective vision works: why worry, when one can simply crash from one mishap to another, never knowing what lead to that point, or considering what might be around the corner?
