[blindkid] Fwd: Once a rider, always a rider

[Carol Castellano]

Yeah, I got a real kick out of it.  The person who sent it to me says 
it came from ONCE, the organization of the blind in Spain, but I'm 
not sure that makes sense, as the words on the jacket are in 
English.  It would have to be Nacido Ser Ciego, wouldn't it!?!  Also, 
I don't think they call their game Lotto.  Don't think it's from NJ.
