Binocular Focus Check

A pair of heavy black stadium binoculars was resting nose-down on the slanted console desk, right beside an unplugged headset! I scrambled up onto the swivel chair seat, planted my boots on the cushioned edge, and leaned over the dual barrels. The view through the glass was completely blurry—just fuzzy grey grandstands and murky uprights. Not on my watch! I reached up, clamped both paws onto the ribbed rubber focus wheel right between the lenses, and twisted with all my strength. Click-click-whir! The wheel gave way, and the distant goalpost snapped into tack-sharp clarity across the entire open field. Scanned, focused, and locked in!
