    No see kada's down here, we have love bugs and they are small, chewy and have little taste.

    Glasses are state law in FL, but with all the sunshine we have
    to have really good glasses, otherwise you can't see all the girls in bikinis

    Trantula Spiders are GOOD spiders Holmes.

    The Brown Recluse are what we have to worry about.
    Fire Flies are pretty. They don't harm nothing.
    And we don't have crocks, that is Florida area.

    Been here 30 yrs. Don't know anybody that has been bit by a rattle snake.

    Usually its a copperhead. And if you got hedge bushes you need to be bit.
    And water moccasin .

    Well yesterday I got my Christmas present a little early.

    Went to 3 Academy's yesterday looking for a Pair of Costa Man O War sunglasses with a silver frame , and the silver Mirror 580 Glass lens with the copper backing .

    Found them at Bass Pro Shop in Katy , Texas.

    I really like them. They have side shields too.
    And yes they are polarized.

    Got a string to go on the arms in case I'm not riding and i'm around the water and drop them in they will float.

    Well I emailed Costa about the 580 glass when i got the glasses.

    Get email on advertisements all the time.
    But they can't answer my email.

    good stuff has a good price, they are not much compared to my Maui Jims that I bought in San Diego, I've had them over 15 years, the frames are still in great shape the lens perfect, no distortion, zero flaws, vision is enhanced with the Maui Jims and they company is top notch.

    I've had the cheap shit from biker events, bad lens, scratch with the wind, break if you drop them, nah I like seeing things clearly...

    Shoot I just went to Keizer optical where we have our health insurance through and they have high quality polarized sun glasses that won't scratch and guaranteed for less than half the price. Wear them riding, driving and just general use. Best I've ever had. Wife wears the cheap ones but they look good on her.

    My Oakley Monsters were like 225.00 that I bought like 4 or 5 yrs ago..
    They don't give good stuff away.
    If you want quality stuff , yer gonna have to save the money and go git it and take care of it.
    It ain't like you go and buy a pair of sunglasses everyday.

    Like I said in an earlier post that's why I had a pair made for me at my eye doctor, as Tony the Tiger would say, They'er Great.
