Any decent sunglasses will cost over $100, and that may be with a sale! My ski goggles cost more than that, which I expected. Anyone who uses their sunglasses a lot while driving should get glasses with good lenses. I bought my SO a pair for his birthday 2 years ago that cost more than that. He has so many crap pair of glasses and I looked at them as not being the safest for driving. After a while, bad lenses always give me a headache.

Love the dog!! When I was bartending, I used to keep my phone sitting upright in a cup by the register, so that if it rang, I could see it light up. Coincidently, I used to also keep whatever I was drinking (almost always Guinness) sitting in a cup by the register. One day, I went to take a sip, and realized that I had put my phone in my Guinness. Ironically, for the second time, that phone completely survived a swimming. The first time it sat at the bottom of the bar sink, in warm soapy water, for anywhere from 40-60 minutes. After I dried it out, it worked perfectly. I didn't even lose a minute of charge on the battery. I thought for sure that would have been soaked.
