Wow Karma! Way to go man! I've had people I know have their licenses yanked by their doc's for becoming "tech" blind. I empathised with their frustration having to now depend on someone to get them around. Takes away a great deal of independence obviously.
I'm amazingly impressed you race being legally blind. Hell, I've been known to have to drive myself to the hospital at 2 am for stitches after splitting my head open, trying to navigate the home I've known for 20 yrs. in the dark!
You have my admiration and I applaud your courage to continue doing what you love, not letting it effect or limit you.
You'll understand of course if I turn down a lift though won't you?

Karma...I haven't even driven my own car in 2months due to health reasons. Congrats on the new addition to the family Guessing you'll be hard pressed to escape fishing my friend. The only catching you'll be doing is post-natal hormonal abuse and hail mary touchdown diaper tosses. (No one draw Wolfes attention to this post, or she'll gimme a beating).
I'm usually up to a fish anytime and it's always nice to meet new folks.
I'm however handicapped myself in a sense....Yes.... I've been able to say it out loud with the help of therapy without shame...."I'm boatless."
So without my buddies, I'm stranded shore fishing, which does have it's benefits but it makes outings with a boat all the more enjoyable, when they happen.
PS. Although born and bred in The Great White North, since my marriage and divorce from my ex-wife, aka, Da Wicked Ice Queen. I've become severely more allergic to ice, snow, cold and any woman that spends more than 3 minutes examing a item worth more than $5000 for extended periods of time.

If there's water and fish...anywhere Karma. Unless it's an outing I usually stay within an hr. of Ottawa. Where you at? (expecting a few bucks for that shameless plug).
PS...I'm disapointed with myself and real impressed with MrT for shamefully pointing out that terrible, offensive, off colour, quick witted, clever remark b4 I could.

funny saying
My personal best was a sign at a pharmacy on wellington st. near Holland av. in Ottawa. The sign read- JOYNT"S DRUG STORE.
I haven't made it up this was replaced in the mid 80's
I still think of the sign every time I go by the area!...Larry

Mr. T. wrote:I have a funny street corner in my area. Mulder Ave and Scully Way. So on the street sign all you see is Mulder and Scully.
Awhile back I was at DuBarry's Chinese Buffet in Vanier. There was a note on one of the doors of the bathroom stalls. I assumed that the toilet was not working but was not sure because the writing was all in Chinese ( I think).
Canada Post Office with s missing, Canada Pot Office.
Reasons for brail on the buttons at the ATM drive through. Standardization of the tellers. If it's all the same then the parts can be mass produced making it cheaper for the banks to repair or replace. Maybe the blind person is in the back seat.
Mr T. I live on scully , its pretty funny
