[Blindtlk] [acb-l] Expedition impossible

Joseph,

Thanks! I didn't know how to spell it, but I've heard it 
pronounced, both correctly by humans and incorrectly (more like 
how it's spelled) by synthesized voices, namely JAWS and 
VoiceOver.  Thanks again!

Chris, if youâ€™ll allow me to correct your spelling of his name, 
itâ€™s
Weihenmayer, spelled W-E-I-H-E-N-M-A-Y-E-R.

He is the very Eric that climbed Mount Everest years ago and the 
NFB
was one
of his sponsors.

Hi everyone,

Thought I would give an update on the TV show Expedition
impossible

that has Eric, sorry can't remember last name, the blind guy.  So
it has been
4 shows now, the show has teams of 3 racing through Morocco and I
am happy
to say that team no limits (Eric's team) has been in the top 2
for the last
2 weeks.  The first show had some people from other teams saying
it would be
embarrassing to lose to a blind guy, but everyone is well past
that now.
Eric's brother and another guy make up team no limits and bells
are used for
Eric to follow.  His team is treated like all the other teams
with a little
blurb from someone on the team each week, and yes Eric's team
generally says
something about how he can or sometimes cannot do all parts of
the
challenges.  It is cool to see the other teams gain respect and
start to see
past the blindness and over all I think it is showing blind
people in a good
light.

For those who want to check it out the show Expedition impossible
airs on
ABC, Thursday nights, 9pn eastern time.
