I spent a lot of time yesterday reading about ANSI standards for safety sunglasses for Andy. In 2015, after he bumped his head on a fallen tree while hiking, we started buying him pith helmets to replace his floppy sun hat.
It didn’t always work. About seven years ago he took it off because it was cloudy and he bumped his head on a fallen tree while watching his feet as he walked. See Bless Email and the Garmin for more details. Danger lurks in all directions up there.
Anyway, after this latest incident I facetiously suggested we buy him a catcher’s mask, but we decided to look into the safety sunglasses instead. I’ve ordered one pair that gives a 7-day free trial so at least we’re getting started. I will let you know how that goes.

good idea
🙂
Best wishes and God bless to Andy and you.
Thanks. 🙂
The idea of the catchers mask made me laugh. I hope the sunglasses work well.
🙂
Safety glasses is a great idea…I hope he likes them.
Thanks. 🙂
…i’m a walker, not a hiker.
Smart man!
Safety glasses sound like they might work, even the catchers mask is a good idea, especially if he wants to hike.. always something going on. better safe than sorry is what i think
He tries to be careful.
I agree, that’s a really good idea, you can’t be too careful!
Agreed!
I can’t wait to see them!!
I’ll let you know. 🙂
How wonderful these options are available!
Yes!!
Sorry about those issues he has had. I hope the glasses work out okay.
Thanks. 🙂
Here’s hoping they work well for Andy. Maybe you need to also invest in a lot of bubble wrap.
Or bandages?
I was just again looking at those pictures of him crossing that stream. You know if he had fallen there . . . .
The water wasn’t that deep, and Beate and Tim were there.
