All over Turkey, one sees these blue eyes - Anatolian talismans, made of glass to ward off evil influences and bring luck.
Well I had a momentary flashback yesterday. I came out of a parking garage into the Cambridge Galleria, smack into a kiosk filled with these. For a minute I thought I was in Twighlight Zone travel warp. But, when I looked more closely I realized I was in America, where some enterprising soul combined a good luck horse shoe with blue evil eyes.
