> Hello,
>   My name is Chris and I am a very new member of this list.
> 
>   I am currently living in NC in One reason that I am interested in joining
> this list is that I have just moved to a very tiny town with spotty
> paratransportation and I am in a semi-rural area. Thus, although things are
> not too far from where I live (including where I will be working starting
> this week, groceries...) they are not accessible on foot. Thus, I would love
> any advice other small-towners have for a newbie to small town life. I am a
> bit stressed since I am not sure how I will be doing transportation starting
> in July since the Paratransit system noted that they are likely going to
> lose their funding for transportation at that time.
> 
>   A little more about who I am:). I am a guide dog user from GEB and have a
> wonderful and extremely mellow yellow lab named Armand. I am totally blind
> and hav been so for the last about 13 years. I am originally from Ohio but
> moved to NC for a job opportunity.
> 
>   Any helpful hints, advice, or suggestions would be very sincerely
> appreciated.
> With very warm regards,
> Chris
