#1 I stopped at one of those 'quick lube' places last week on the way to pick up my new eye glasses. I believe the lube, glasses and eye exam combined were not more than $1400. You've just got to take advantage of bargains where you can find them.

#2 They lubed your glasses?

#3 /\ No, eyeglass lubing is an extra charge.

#4 I was thinking about getting some toroidal contact lenses, the lube for them does cost extra.

#5 Wasn't there a girl crowned Miss Glassy-Eyed Lube Queen or some such?

#6 toroidal contacts? I sthat the ones with weights in them? If so I would highly recommend against that move.

#7 Mixed on this. Too many neighborhoods with half a dozen wrecks up on blocks or jacks and 'being worked on'. Compromise should be a time limit, say 72 hours. Move it or lose it.

#8 You'd have to drive 100 yards down my driveway to even see where I work on my vehicles.

#9 One more reason (if a person needs one) to not live in California. My fear is that so many people are moving out California to other parts of the country that they will pollute these areas with their nonsense.

There is that. If an area has zoning laws they are usually there for a reason. I for one don't somebody opening up a junkyard next to my house in a residential neighborhood. And don't tell me it's their property. They knew what the zoning laws were when they bought the property. Now restrictive covenants and HOAs. That's another matter.
