Re: [FWDLK] blue dots/sleepy eyes

Hi!
  The interesting thing about blue dots is that your eyes can't focus on both blue and red at the same time.  So usually there's a kind of flickering quality to the tail lights.  You can't focus red and blue at the same time because the light beams refract (bend) in the lens differently (that's why a prism separates them into opposite ends of the spectrum).
  Of course with my eyes it's hard to get anything in focus anymore.  Anyone else notice that interesting flickering in bluedots?
  Best,
   Ed
