In addition to other ways I've found to waste time, I'm a bit of
a birdwatcher. There are nine feeders around our house. I had
been using the same binoculars for more than 30 years, and so I
decided it might be time to upgrade. I shopped around, examined
a dozen different brands, from Bushnell to Zeiss, including the
way out of my budget stuff like Leica, Kahles, Zwarovski, etc.,
but I ended up with -- don't get ahead of me; it spoils the
story -- a pair of Olympus 8x42 Magellans. They were as good as
or better than anything else I looked at, particularly when
considering price, and they are perfect for us eyeglass wearers.
And, hey, I also got a free Olympus keyring, becoming the first
in the neighborhood to have one.
Unless through extensive therapy or otherwise I can develop
better resistance to the marque, I fear I might someday end up
with one of those proctoscope thingys that keep showing up on
eBay. How would I ever explain that to the lady of the house?
