[Blindtlk] Frisbee

[Julie J.]

Thanks to everyone for all the ideas!  I had no idea beeping Frisbees were 
available.  I was thinking I was going to have to create something myself.

I'm also thinking we could play a version of badminton with one of the 
smaller foam beeping balls.

Now if the temperature would get back to reasonable, it's supposed to be 100 
degrees, we could try out all these new ideas!

Thanks again!  You guys are awesome!
Julie

Our very own Independence Market comes to your rescue once again!

Item code AIG46F, Beeping Frisbee, sells for $15.

Measuring 7 1/2-inches in diameter and 1 1/2-inches thick, this foam
Frisbee is covered in orange nylon and contains a continuously
beeping locator, which can be switched on or off. The beeping unit
can be removed and used as a separate audible beacon.

You can order your Beeping Frisbee by visiting http://is.gd/0pqJa3 or
by going to http://www.nfb.org/ and clicking the links for Products
and Technology, Independence Market, Leisure, and then Balls
(although a Frisbee is obviously lacking some of the specifics one
would associate with a state of ball-ness, that’s where they’ve put
it apparently!)

I totally should’ve been a salesman.  *grin*
