[Blindtlk] A List Newbee and a Question About Small Town Life andBlindness

[Lloyd Rasmussen]

Hi.  I remember you from the Blind-math list a year or more ago.  I think 
you were majoring in psychoacoustics, statistics, or something like that.  I 
hope you were able to find a job commensurate with that work at Ohio State. 
Welcome to the listserv.

andBlindness

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
