Re: [at-l] Fwd: eyewear
I suspect sitting in front of this computer monitor is likely more harmful
to my eyes. Reading the flood of AT-L and ATML emails every day is
beginning to test my sanity.
I know the answer! Sitting here at the monitor and reading these emails is
giving me the motivation to shut this contraption off and look for a
simpler life, albeit, the Appalachian Trail. See y'all. Keep my seat
warm.
