Eyeballs all working well
Jun. 3rd, 2026 10:48I still sometimes feel like someone poked me in the eye but overall everything is fine. I can see pretty well but my close in reading is crap. Way worse. So it goes. Saved me about $6k to not get the lenses with reading glasses included so it is probably worth it. I bought some stick up mounts so that I can stage glasses everywhere (like on the side of the refrigerator.. never needed glasses there before). Minor adjustment I'll figure out. I'll probably end up getting a folding pair I can have in my pocket whenever I go anywhere. And there's always my phone.
Meanwhile....
I'm always trying to get a good shot of Toby right after his summer cut. It is hard to do as the lighting has to be just right on a white dog to get any contrast. I took this today:

It is a pretty good shot and, of course, Beaux is in the background checking out a smell on the ground.
But the tongue annoyed me. So I asked Gemini if I could get it edited out. Nothing more. Just dumped in the picture and said no tongue:

There are a bunch of ways I'd have screwed that up and spent working with the eraser to get it just right. Screw that. Gemini got it in one.
Meanwhile, I've found an entry for the smallest penis of the year award. He's only a minor contender since it is not a dualee truck. I mean, really, who could take him seriously with only four tires? But still it is a valient effort. I think he might be from our neighborhood. I first saw him at the light heading out of our development. Further followup is needed:

If nothing else, this is true Texas. Maybe I can drop this in Gemini and say 'make him a compassionate progressive'.

It will be a month or two before that settles down and I know how good it is. But it should be like it was when I was young.
