Updog

What's updog?

As I am reaching for the shampoo bottle I think to myself, "Ok, the shampoo is on the right."

Then with my still blurry vision I double check the label. Not that it is of dire consequence if I accidentally put the conditioner on first, but a more of a minor waste of hair goo.

The main question here is about the label. Which way is up? When I am at the store and browsing the aisle for my preferred product of course the bottle is placed in optimum viewing condition. However when this product reached my bath's edge the point of view changes completely, especially as the contents goes down the drain.

Does your bathtime product stare you in the face as if were on the shelf, or should it have a secondary way to communicate?

I am dominant

Perspective is an interesting topic.

You have the figurative interpretation as in, "They have a different frame of reference on saving the whales."

Then there is the physical perspective that we are somewhat limited by in our everyday life. Occasionally I am reminded of the movie "Dead Poets Society" when Robin Williams invites each member of the class to stand on his desk to gain a new perspective. Even if you get to stand 6 inches higher in a particular area it shows you a different way of looking at things.

The space between your ears is often referred to as one of your most valuable assets. Seldom do we talk about the space between your eyes, and I am not referring to the nasal cavity. From pupil to pupil my eyes are about 3 inches apart. Sloth from "The Goonies" has a different measurement all together.

Dear and many four legged creatures are blessed with nearly 360º of vision. Their eyes are placed quite literally on opposite sides of their head allowing them to be aware of what is going on all around them. However they must move their head from side to side occasionally to interpret depth perception.

A fun little exercise to try for yourself will help you determine which of your eyes in more dominant. Make a triangle between the web of your hands and with both eyes open view an object across the room (for example the corner of a picture frame).

The close one eye.

Did the object move from the triangle you made with your hands? If so, the eye you closed is your dominant eye.

To double check, start again, then test the other eye. If the object did not move, the open eye is the dominant eye.







Is your dominant eye on the same side as your dominant hand?
