Not a single member of my vast readership contributed so much as a penny toward my goggles fund; in fact, one reader crassly attempted to use my heartfelt, teary-eyed (from the wind) appeal for his own grandfatherly benefit. For shame!
However, what readers would not provide, eBay could, suckaz.
Behold: my new biking spex. Well, new to me. They're old school, but I know I'll like 'em, not least because I'll look just like Bjørn Dæhlie (at least in the eyebrowular region). And getting them for a few bucks, rather than $150, makes them all the sweeter. In fact, since the lenses are supposed to work best in low-light conditions, I might just wear them to bed tonight. They'll probably be only mildly uncomfortable and only slightly frighten Genevieve when I change her diaper, but they'll definitely show my skinflint readers who's boss around this blog.
