Here’s a new one for ya. I ran into someone last night who thought those audible signals, ya know, the poles at intersections that go peep peep or cuckoo were set up for…brace yourselves…are you sitting down? Ok, ok. She thought they were set up to help my dog get me across the street! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! …

Didn’t Your Mother Tell You It’s Rude To Stare?
I know people like to stare at blind people, especially when those blind people have guide dogs. To all the people who stare, I may not see you, but sometimes others do and point it out. I’m not unaware of the staring phenomenon. If you’re curious, I’d much rather you come up and talk to …

Do The Roundabout Death
I don’t even know why I’m posting this, except the damn song keeps getting stuck in my head…oh, and roundabouts scare me. In Kitchener, I guess they’ve put in a roundabout, one of those weird circle intersection dealies where all the cars drive around it and pedestrians have to decide when it’s safe and then …
Snow Blows
Ok, here’s something that baffles me. I ask what I think is a simple question, but nobody can answer it. Maybe someone can tell me what’s so hard about this question. the question is… … Am I on the sidewalk? Now, what’s so hard about this question? It’s snowy. the sidewalk is hard to find. …
My Poor dog, Getting all the Blame
I feel like I’m repeating myself, but whatever. I guess repetition is good. Let me try and explain something once and for all. When I’m standing at the corner getting ready to cross the street, my dog does not decide when it’s safe to go. I do. If I say go and she sees cars …
Holy Crap, Is TheWorld About To End?
Here’s a crazy story. I was walking along, and Trixie signaled to me that she needed to do some business. We’d been walking for some time, so it was completely understandable. I checked and there was an outer grass line she could use, but it seemed kind of narrow, but I figured she’d be ok. …
Crashing Through My Brain
A little while ago, I talked about the book about Mike May. Well, I finished it. Should I say I crashed through it? No. That would be too corny. Lots of books make me think, but I think this one will keep me thinking for a while. In case you haven’t guessed, it’s called Crashing …
Where’s The Crime Here?
Charlotte, NCA 46-year-old woman said she was assaulted by a family member for moving furniture in his house without permission. The woman was a guest in her relative’s home and took it upon herself to do a little remodeling. When her relative saw what she did, he got angry and tried to push a china …
Say Swiss Cheese!
I don’t want to completely slag Chueh Lee. I really think he has the best of intentions. I guess I just want to ask the question. Would you, as a blind person, want a touch-sight camera? You’re supposed to aim the camera by…placing it against your forehead? Then when you snap a picture, it will …
Sorry?
I was talking to a friend the other day, and something came up that I have to write down. She was laughing, and said that someone else had thought we were sisters. We go out together a lot, and people have thought we were sisters or mother and daughter, which really makes me laugh because …
