And it may be that I am so used to seeing you with the glasses that I have

Last couple of annual "dilate the pupils" eye exams at the ophthalmologist 
"incipient cataracts" have been noted. I asked and was told not to worry, 
"just come back next year".

They do. 'bout an hour to roast a 3# to 4# bird ... maybe a bit longer for the 
bigger bird. And the juices/fat in the pan below are great for making gravy, 
etc. Georgia gave me a dual can "beer can" roaster made to sit on an outdoor 
grill. The cardboard wrap is still intact after 10 years - as I do not have 
(nor really desire) and outdoor grill. So, I can't report on the efficacy of 
the beer can chicken roasters.
