“Transitions lenses are clear indoors and at night. And thanks to advanced technology, they quickly darken when you go outdoors. Step back inside and they quickly fade back to clear.” http://en-ca.transitions.com/aboutlenses/howwork.htm
I’ll keep this short and simple, so point form it is:
- After the first few transistions in to direct sun light the do appear to transition in less than a minute.
- Takes a while in indirect light, which is fine.
- Transitioning back to normal takes considerably longer. By my count, about 2.5 minutes (see quote…)
- Function “ok” as shades, but my shares definately provide better reduction in glare
- Price for this feature on lenses is reasonable ($100 CAD), considering custom tinted glasses would cost about the same lens wise.
- Personally, while a cool feature, I would not get transitions on my lenses again. I’ll stick with actual shades next time.
The end.

Well, I’m in the process of sourcing some soy beans in Saskatoon. So far everyone is carrying organic soy beans, but the prices are wildly different across the board:
- Nutters $4.49/lb
- Mom’s Nutrition $2.25/lb
- Steep Hill Co-op $1.75/lb (member price only, when bought by the bag)
- Old Fashion doesn’t carry soy beans
I haven’t checked Superstore, but I suspect they’ll probably be somewhere between Steep Hill and Mom’s Nutrition. Any other places I should go check out? I suspect Eastern Market may carry as well… but no answer when I called today.

My Tuesday ritual is to goto a civic centre and soak in the hot tub for 2 hours. I’ve done this for nearly a year now. I invite friends and we all have a fantastic time catching up on the week. My story starts with me going down to the parkade to leave.
