As far as  going barefoot, I don't see any thing with a blind person doing 
what they want. My bottoms of my feet are used to the wood floors in this 
old house. They rather shy away from gravel, rocks, thorny weeds etc. My 
feet just aren't used to it.  When I was growing up as they would say as a 
perrson with "high Partial Vision" I rarely went barefoot because we lived 
on a farm and  there wasn't any of us that went barefoot due to the 
probability of  stepping on a nail or stepping on a variety of animal dung 
etc. I did get stuck in the mud when I was a youngster and my uncle had to 
pull me out. I believe I did have shoes on. At that time, most of the farms 
around here in Michigan had farm ponds and we would swim in  them. I would 
be horrified now to swim  among lots of clay, mud and weeds now and then. I 
now am almost a senior citizen and have been totally blind since 1998. I 
used to be on the Braille Note list a long time ago. Now to  some more 
informative things...
