[blparent] Beware those sharp little eyes!

Thu Nov 10 07:16:49 UTC 2011

Some in my family didn't like me to use a cane or dog when I went places 
with them, but now I have one or the other, always.  Non-negotiable.

"How far you go in life depends on you being tender with the young, 
compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of 
the weak and the strong.  Because someday in life you will have been all of 
these."--George Washington Carver, 1864-1943, American scientist
