[pct-l] Sunglasses

[Diane at Santa Barbara Hikes dot com]

The only thing that ever works for me are cheap sunglasses. The good  
ones get broken, scratched or lost almost immediately. The cheap ones  
seem to never get lost and once they are scratched, it makes no  
difference how much or little I paid for them.

The only exception was a pair of metal-framed Oakleys. The frame was  
indestructible so was impervious to the parrot that sits on my  
shoulder. The lenses scratched very easily, however, despite all the  
hype.

I've given up on expensive sunglasses.
