At least only one of my eyes don't see well.
Random Fact: In order to build the Hoover Dam, the Colorado River had to be diverted through the canyon walls, which ended up taking the majority of the work and time involved in the dam's construction. The rest was just digging down to bedrock and filling the place with a crapton of concrete.
Thoughts & Opinions~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Guess who broke their glasses by simply taking them off today?
I was taking off my glasses to swap them with my sunglasses earlier when I was on the tour at Hoover Dam, and the first thing that happens is the right hinge snaps off entirely.
The good thing though, is that there's a reason why the left side of my glasses is super-thick, while the right side is near paper-thin. My vision in my right eye is perfectly fine, but my left eye got messed up by a muddy soccer ball back in second grade.
I am now the proud owner of a slice of the old power line from Hoover Dam, which they took down, sliced into 2-inch pieces, and now sell as souvenirs.
For the past two days, I've been on a see-food diet. (And a seafood diet.) I go to a seafood buffet, I see the food, and I eat it.
The last time I went to Hoover Dam was when I was around 8 or 9. I was taking pictures using my Nintendo DSi, (Of which I still own). Now, the thing uses a small magnet to detect whether or not it's in its closed position, and the moment I entered the "Generator" section of the tour, the thing locks up, freezes, and refuses to do anything until I got back to the hotel and let the battery drain itself. Good times.
My rule of thumb for phones: Don't buy it if it doesn't have an SD-card slot. I'm the kind of person who quickly fills up storage space, and expandable storage is pretty much a must.
Guess who broke their swim goggles by taking them off today?
Kind of like my father, he got his eye hurt in a hunting accident. He still has a piece of whatever hit him stuck in his eye
