Dood. Those are NOT sunglasses.

They are obviously reading glasses.

Somebody popped the lenses out, is all.

Actually, they kinda look like Malcom X's glasses.

According to Roadside America, there are a bunch of them around.

Did I ever tell you about Elephant Head Peak?

[snurri.livejournal.com]

Hm. I'm trying to see the elephant there, and failing.

[jamiam.livejournal.com]

I know! See, and everyone else says it's just me.

But the elephant shrine at the top makes it legit, I guess.

let me try that again...

[snurri.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I saw that. Still. I think the altitude has been getting to someone . . .

Probably the heat.
