It's a little more limited, but try looking through the holes in a cracker. Or, for a larger view there's Swiss cheese. Bagels are almost a little too much, but they'd be easier to adapt into goggles. <br /><br />You know what else is fun? Drinking water out of a clear glass tumbler while looking in the mirror. You get a real interesting view of your mouth and teeth.Diane Mayrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09767689319000732296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8303906221917588052.post-89635659734997818792012-04-06T14:53:37.304-04:002012-04-06T14:53:37.304-04:00Great post, Diane.
