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. Dan ...who is perhaps showing his own age? Ray Ban introduced the first polarized sunglasses in 1936. The Polaroid Corporation wasn't founded until 1937. -- Cut "to the chase" for my email address. |
