I a, wm putting this here because (rim shot) I can.,

Three yrears ago, we went to Windsor , Canada so I could get my glasses that had been waiting for year, actually lenses.
In the Chinese Fire Drill, nasty but better than their virus, they had ordered two sets of lenses for me.

When I was there I did the eye test etc. and found that fitting, they had fit earlier once by guess and by gosh photos, they were only off by millemeters. but now I could have said thank you, and taken the one set a cruised but in my old age, my orneryness tain't what it used to be, SO, I said is there another set in you dusty shelves some where?

The dude said, WHY YES, I think there might be and did the search, SO, (I like saying so, I had a second set of old , these are 100 years old plus or minus, but a bow was missing that were near identical to what I wore.
Now I just happened to bring them along as I knew they had messed up, this dude was an eye glass collector, or old frame hoarder really and he said leave them here, we will fit the lenses and when I get time I will dig through and find a bow that fits.

Time went on and approx. a year plus or minus God only knows how long, one day in the maik , shizzam, there was my second frame complete , so I gave them to Sharon and said store this.

Yesterday, I was sitting here wastin time on this electronical fetish when , PLOP, my one lenses fell on my shirt.
I thought , crap not only does the bow need retaping, (been doing that on that frame for years) but the screw is loose or fell out that hold the lens in.
NAW, I wish, the frame had broken, snapped just above the eye pad.
SO, I love that word, SO, I told Sharon where ever you put my second set , I need them now.
Approx. 20 minutes later after she first gave me a set that made a coke bottle look thin, she found them.

Now with the pittance the Weimar Republic of China Joe is giving us, I may just call them , as he wanted to sell me as close as a modern version get to the old ones that are now hard to find in antique shops, for 600 Canadian.
Not cheap but that one would have the setting , slightly different from this/these and I like the place a lot. I tip my hat to you.


Other historians point to flaws in the Weimar Constitution, such as the provision that allowed rule by decree and the suspension of constitutional rights in a national emergency.
