Today I did a nice thing and sent magnifier sheets to a few old people who’ve written to the newspaper sad because they can’t read the tiny print of the crossword puzzle anymore. I had Nick demonstrate the awesome magnifying power before I tucked the sheets into envelopes and sent them off.

I was quite frankly impressed with how well they worked for flimsy little plastic things.

UPDATE (June 11): One of women called to say she received the magnifier and appreciates it very much.
