Oh, be sure to get sunglasses for the both of you and never cast
a fly line with a hook attached without wearing them.
Excellent advice, but be sure to get *polaroids*. You can see *into*
the water much better.

Umm... "polarized" me thinks.

Vince is showing his age. The first polarized sunglasses on
the mass market were called polaroids.

Shows you what I know, eh?

So it's like calling
a copy machine the Xerox machine or paper tissue a Kleenex.
Folks know what you mean.

I get Kleenex, Xerox, Jell-O, and most others, but had no idea that the
first polarized glasses were made by Polaroid. Figured it was a typo. Like I
said, shows you what I know.

Ray Ban introduced the first polarized sunglasses in 1936. The Polaroid
Corporation wasn't founded until 1937.

Oh yeah, "Cool Ray Polaroid" shades. They came with a little tag that
had a small 1/2" dot of polarized material in the middle. You could
turn the tag 90 degrees to see the polarizing effect.

FWIW, that's still the best way to pick out polarized sunglasses from a
rack where they're mixed in with regular shades. Pick up an ugly pair,
turn them sideways, then select a better looking pair from the ones on
the rack that go opaque.

Yer fergiven, Dan. I was young once; and sometimes, I can almost
remember what it was like.
