Monocular

Today I picked up an Audubon Monocular that I have been eying for a couple months. It’s totally a toy – I have no practical need for it – but it’s very cool, and I’ve wanted one for a while. It’s like a teensy little telescope that I can fit into my pocket. The magnification is quite impressive, and I’ve had several opportunities to use it already to see things that are just a little too far away for my less-than-perfect eyes.
