Hi Bo, <br>
Sounds like you came through it as well as can be expected. Hope all
is OK when you return home. <br>

To minimize the eye strain from your monitor, try looking away
every 15 - 20 minutes and stare at something 20 - 25 feet
away, like something in the next room, for about 5 minutes.
Even watching TV for a minute or two helps due to the movement
on the screen. I used to get up a take a walk and BS with the
other engineers every now and then, also helped with thinking
about what I was working on. Another thing to try is to sit
farther away from the monitor. You can also try adjusting the
brightness and contrast, darker is supposed to be better.<br>
<br>
Some of the disciplinary aides (secretaries) I used to work
with would use a screen filter to cut down the glare from the
monitor. Some people say that wearing a good pair of polarized
lenses helps.<br>
<br>
The reason you don’t have as big an issue with you phone is
because of the screen size and the lower amount of emitted
light.<br>

Thanks Mattias. Yes I just saw that message. <br>
It’s good to hear from all of you but looking at this computer
screen gives<br>
me terrible headaches so I don’t. I can do stuff on my smart
phone pretty well<br>
but the computer hurts.<br>

Hi! <br>
<br>
Good to hear from you Charlie.<br>
No earlier said that they were evacuating, so I believe
they're safe but worried over their property and belongings.<br>
<br>

Hi gang.<br>
<br>
I hope everyone is well. I’m doing fine but looking at
computer screens bothers my eyes enough<br>
that it’s no fun to be online. I can drive and function
ok. There are just some things that bother<br>
me enough to discourage doing them. E-mail is one of those.<br>
<br>
I’m worried about Bo Hinch. Has anyone heard from him?
Some of you probably know<br>
he lives very near Lake Charles (Sulphur), LA which, under
some forecast models is possibly ground<br>
zero for hurricane Laura. I think the elevation of his
whole town is about 16’ above sea level<br>
and it’s only a few miles inland from a bay that empties
into the gulf.<br>
I haven’t been able to get up with him. I hope he and
anyone else in this family who is in the<br>
path of this storm has their antique tractors put away and
is headed for high ground.<br>
<br>
If I don’t see your reply John Hall and Al Jones know how to
reach me.<br>
<br>
Charlie<br>
