Adventures in near-sightedness
Mat may be nearsighted. He also pretends to be afraid of heights. Sometimes we catch him prowling the tops of the shelves.
We’re myopic, so when printed signs are not near enough for us to read, our brain notes the shape of the letters and makes a guess. Today we saw a Valentine event poster that said “A Calibration of Love”. This struck us as admirably unsentimental for our gooey culture. It sounds like something our druid might say while wielding her slide rule to club stupid people unconscious. Then we realized that the text was “A Celebration of Love” haha. Nearsightedness has its advantages.

“Calibrations of Love” sounds like a Mass Effect fanfic starring Garrus.
Or perhaps Neil DeGrasse Tyson doing a Valentine’s Day concert in tandem with Stephen Hawking.
