Does your seeing eye dog drive you around or do you put a saddle on
'em and giddyup from bar to bar? And if you have a drive, why do you
need a dog?
And is there a two treat minimum for the dog? :-)
Getting serious, with all those millions of new high-tech bills
sitting unusable in Ft. Worth, whatever became of that federal goal of
"money that could be felt up by the blind" ? I could "see" someone
punching Braille on a dollar bill and passing it off as hundred. The
scoundrels!!!
Well, he's not a Seeing Eye dog, because he came from a different school. >(The Seeing Eye is only the first guide dog school in America, and they >protect their brand name very well)
He's only six, so he is too young to drive, and he's too small to saddle. >But that does remind me of the guide miniature horses people sometimes use.
As to money, Braille isn't a good option because it's going out of favor. I >can't read it at all myself -- too many years playing congas killed my >pressure sensitivity on my fingertips.

And this little problem is also why I can't use the Braille menus some >restaurants have, either.
I turn into Adrian Monk at restaurants. Germs, Disease, and Death on
all the surfaces, chairs, menus, salt + pepper shakers, food. Must be
a bummer trying to use a credit card without mystery charges. A lot
of restaurants must believe everyone is deaf based on the progressive
increase in background music like a secret army concussion wave
weapon. Drives me nuttier to sit next to someone and curl my hand by
my ear just to hear chit chat. Stay off my lawn you whipper snappers!
