Vaseline on the lens

Walking home from the eye doctor, it was as if a heavy fog had infiltrated Saint Paul's famous skyway. I'm told that moviemakers in the thirties smeared a bit of Vaseline on the camera lens to get the blurry effect I was seeing. Halos and sunburst effects around points of light. As it was dark out, I didn't have to worry about eye damage from bright sunlight.

My pupils are dilated for the next several hours.

My eyes are fine. As I'm diabetic, I should get them re-checked in a year.
