I once purchased a pair of spectacles at WalMart--the price was not bad at all, but it was the worst pair I ever bought--the lenses didn't line up with my eyes! To say that I had to be insistent before they would honor their money-back guarantee would be a bit of an understatement. I have had good luck with Costco (which is recommended by Consumer Reports), and if I buy two pair (readers and bifocals) it is less expensive than Kaiser.
DeleteI have no idea, Alan. I’ve never thought of it before. I suppose I assumed it would take a few days for the lenses to arrive.

ReplyDeleteRotten timing for your water heater to croak, Bill. From what I see in the news you are having awful cold weather.
ReplyDeleteNo, not particularly cold for this time of year. Very windy today but the high was in the 50s. Lows will hand just above freezing through Monday.
DeleteOh, that's not half bad; we are running about 50F high and 40F low.
DeleteWe had that weather a week or so ago, Alan. (And we shouldn't have. It was too warm.) It is currently raining here. Tonight it's going to cool down and we'll have a dusting of snow tomorrow as it finally turns cold for the weekend ahead.
DeleteFrom the WaPo; I didn't know about Arballo--will have to look him up.

Nunes’s Democratic challenger says donations soared after impeachment hearings began
Phil Arballo, a Latino business executive seeking the Democratic nomination to unseat Nunes in California’s 22nd Congressional District, said Wednesday he saw a huge spike in donations, social media followers and general interest in his campaign since the Intelligence Committee’s high-profile impeachment hearings began.
In those two weeks, Arballo said he received $310,000, nearly doubling his year-to-date fundraising. He also said he saw a 127 percent increase in signups on his website and saw his Twitter followers surge to 150,000.
Nunes, as ranking Republican on the Intelligence Committee, became the face of Trump’s defense during the hearings.
Arballo told The Washington Post that constituents in the district see Nunes as more concerned about Trump’s well-being than their own.
“We want to show people this is who he is now,” Arballo said. “It’s not as an active representative of the 22nd, it’s as a protector of this administration, its scandals and its corruption.”
Nunes’s district leans conservative, and he won his reelections by double digits until last year, when he beat his Democratic challenger by 5.5 percentage points, giving Democrats hope that it’s a seat that could be in reach.
“If he loses it’ll be because he’s his own worst enemy,” Arballo said. “He’s using the seat as a platform, he’s using it as a vehicle to spread his propaganda. It’s not about helping people in the district anymore. I think people see right through it.”
I looked at Arballo's web site. He seems like pretty much a plain-vanilla candidate, and has no previous history in public office (he ran for a city council seat but withdrew before the election). In other words, he'd be a big improvement over Nunes. But if someone with more political experience weighs in, he could be doomed. Well, I will keep an eye on the young man.
DeleteHis endorsements look pretty good. [Click]
DeleteI donated to Arballo some time ago after getting his email solicitation. As you say, he would be a big improvement over Nunes.
