I have very sun-sensitive eyes. I have to wear sunglasses if the sun is
out at all. I took a pair of REI Glacier glasses with me to Maine. At the
Millinocket Campground I sat them on top of the car. Next morning, there,
in the dirt, with tire tracks were my brand-spankin' new sunglasses. I
found that I only needed suglasses a couple of times, near the end when
there was snow on. I still wish I hadn't run over them, but I wouldn't
have taken them for a couple of days worth.
