…. When I close my eyes

… all I see is Jtrap right riding an oversized, saddled nutria rat while while singing the battle hymn of the republic

… with Mr Paul twerking in the background

… I know it’s strange and all …. But anyway… I hope that answers your question


Insert profound nonsense here

Well. if it's work, big picture.

Family or life and death, tunnel vision.


How many lies will people believe before they realize their own idiocy?

Tunnel vision to fund my big picture. 4 more years of tunnel vision if my mind and body can hold up

I like to think I see the big picture, but I know at times I get tunnel vision.

I'm with AntiGov. But Savells perspective is interesting.

My vital role to be involved in my granddaughters life. To be a role model for them to achieve their purpose in life and teach them love and kindness.

I think cousin Savell got into the same stuff that old catch22 did. That sounds like one of his midget parties with the maple syrup. crazy

I'm a big picture kind of guy, but there are times when tunnel vision is crucial.

In todays world you gotta see all around and act accordingly. Im talking 360°. Maybe 390 even.

Fight tunnel vision cause it will get you blind-sided (killed - in a gun fight). I try to do big picture with laser focus on one thing at a time, keep the peripheral vision and deal with the unforeseeable challenges that popup.


Each day is a gift. LIVE IT with gratitude.

while it is easy to see tunnel vison at times , life experiences have slapped me around enough I like to try for big picture.

I'm going to die , we all die , what do we do while we live.


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

What is that light in the tunnel?

Train headlight or end of the tunnel?

Not sure what Marty has in mind for responses but tunnel vision is used most days when focused on a subject at hand. A job/task that takes complete concentration or driving a car in bad weather conditions. etc.

Tunnel vision can be a bad thing which can lead to poor decisions.

Variable optics from fish eye views to a microscope in each eye. field of view rapidly changes from moment to moment as needed
