Hi guys, long time no see (didn't actually notice it'd been that long). So far I haven't had any luck finding a store with Maui Jim's and the only Serengeti glasses I could had a very bad form that didn't cover my eyes very well and the frame couldn't reach properly behind my eyes to be secure, it sucks living in Denmark. The new goverment with our first ever female PM are totally reforming the country, goodbye scandinavian wellfare model.
While on the subject of vision then a while ago I was at the eye-doctor. I've had these floating things in my vision for a while and recently I had a couple of light flashes in the corner of my eye where I knew there were no lights. While the it doesn't look like I'll go blind anytime soon then there's no way atm to clear my eyesight, so this is the final nail in the coffin for my dream's of getting a pilot's license. I already had no way to finance it, even for hobby flights, but not having a good eyesight for flying at hundreds of km/h that's just no good imo.
I've tried to catch up a bit on the forum, some very cool bits of news. The news about Gary Clark was fantastic, and I think the cross-over idea suggested in the topic here would be brilliant, I'd definately buy the book that was in.
Sadly it also seems like there's still bad news, good people getting fired/killed, continued misunderstandings in the media about general aviation etc. I hope things will improve for you all.
Me, I'm atm trying one last ditch attempt at getting a nice career started after all the grief and depression with my dad's death and my mom's illness, but it's a lousy time to try it with the world as it is and when you got little to no money and almost no personal contacts.
Greetings
Frank
