I'm copying the noted Jefferson, IA, journalist, who has worn black horn-rimmed eyeglasses 64 years, on his early belief “they might make me look more intelligent.”
I was once told that my frames make me look "like an editor." I love your new frames, Chuck! You are already inarguably smart. The glasses just give the world a heads-up.
Back in my college years I thought the glasses presented a "scholarly" look.. but didn't need them to the benefit of military scholarship...The "readers-horned rim" looked professional later.. now with pride I skip the glasses at my every 2 year visit to lowa DOT..vision test.. Silver Hair and rim-less reading glasses solve the image issue.. and with 2 fingers the fonts enlarge to make reading effortless..
His glasses have magic power. I have had the privilege of working with Rick and other Morain folks. He can see and express things about politics and life, that is highly valued.

Thanks for highlighting Rick.
Wonderful column, Chuck. And welcome Rick to our merry band. I’ve admired your stuff for years and I’m glad you’re now part of our group.
Welcome, Rick! I look forward to your clear thinking at a confusing time in history.
“Damn Trump”. What a high class way to insert your biased political view. So crass and beneath you. And, no, not funny,
I thought it was relaxing, fun read.

You don’t need glasses to be smart, Chuck, and neither does Rick, one of the wisest persons I know! Pls give him my best regards!
