And from iced-in Virginia you hear back:

My oh my, how very grammatical! I am Quite Impressed!

I thought a fresnel lens was something in a lighthouse, though.

I do find, actually, that I use my side mirrors fairly well to track what's behind me. Though I rather like the idea of replacing the stock mirror with something to hang a hat on, that sounds amusing. Do you have an umbrella stand in your van too? And perhaps a magazine rack between the front seats so when you're stuck in traffic you can pull out some reading material? Perhaps a chess set attached to the dash, under the radio. It could have all the makings of a fine men's club, just replace the stock seats with nice deep leather ones, too. You do all that, and I'll find you come fine cuban cigars to smoke while you're there!
