Post: Re: A skeptic asks...

Thanks for the encouraging words. I'm pretty good at politely asking my skepticism to take a back seat while I try something outside what is accepted by the mainstream. I will allow myself to be con...

I could not tell you how strong my glasses are, as I don't have my prescription handy. Very strong, I would say. I can't read the largest letter on the optician's eyechart unaided, though I am just ...
