Glasses - March 18, 2026

I essentially only wear Fluevogs … 14 pairs and counting I think? Well, except when its gross then the workhorse Blundstones get brought out.

Anyhow, I needed new glasses and so I asked the main Facebook group where I should go shopping for something somewhere below Elton John and European Architect in terms of flourish … and the thread had a lot of activity. Because, you know, boring glasses don’t match amazing shoes.
