I apparently traumatized the dog who was riding shotgun when I screamed. I'm not sure if it was the scream, or the actual grating noise on the house, that brought my wife from the kitchen.

I'm not that bad yet, but I constantly knock stuff over with my right hand when I'm moving it from my right side. Or I smack it against a door frame or some such thing. I can't actually detect a peripheral vision issue, but 9 times out of 10, if I'm moving my right hand left or right at waist level, I'm going to hit something. Eye doc has done those peripheral vision tests and says mine is fine, but I wonder.

The first sign of glaucoma is often vision loss. Generally to your peripheral vision, which is also known as side vision or tunnel vision. My ophthalmologist thought I was a candidate for it years ago so I get tested for it every year. So far my peripheral vision is excellent. My symptom was elevated eye pressure, which is normal at the present time.

There are a lot of kids out on bikes/scooters in my neck of the woods. I’m surprised at how little kids look these days.

Have you asked your primary care doctor about this? I have similar problems, and suspect that it is carpal nerves triggering and making a quick involuntary jerk as I'm moving my arm.....

I think it's more a vision issue with me, or just plain clumsiness. It's just odd that it's always my right side.

Junior: “Awe gee mom, can I keep doing it until I need glasses?”

I had both a Commodore 64 and an Amiga back in the day.

And a Macintosh.

Looks familiar but had to look them up. Eagle Soft Incorporated:

"Mainly a Cracking Group: Eagle Soft Incorporated was an early and well-known group that focused on cracking copy protection from C64 software, especially games. The group removed copy protection and released modified versions of games.

Release of Cracked Games and Utilities: Many of their releases were cracked versions of popular games, often with added features or modifications. They also released utilities, such as "Eagle Term V3.0," a terminal software.
Early Group Intros and Graphics: In 1985 and 1986, Eagle Soft started including intros and graphics in their releases, which became somewhat iconic within the C64 scene.

Development of Some Original Software: Although the main focus was on cracking, they were also credited with developing original software. For example, the utility "Magic Desk I" is an early release attributed to them."
