[Laser] looking for ideas on amplifying RS laser pointer

Actually it is about 90 miles.  I used to live in Lansing for a while at
the old school for the blind.  I have light perception, and one reason why
I have a laser pointer is so that I could improve my ability to focus
after having surgery.  My big downfall is being tempted to look right at
it to see how well it works, but I try and use the bathroom mirror too.
