I began to wonder about Janet's safety coming home from work. and I felt a guilty about her having to clean off the car, scraping the windshield so I put my work boots on and headed out. Much to my surprise, it really wasn't that slippery, but there were a few icy spots. Although I have a little usable vision, I sometimes get confused when my sight works. However with the gray sky's and rain/sleet coming down my usable sight was not. So naturally my cane kicked in. Of course I had no problem I know the way to stop & shop like the back of my hand. Yeah it's about a mile away. I must admit. It's kind of fun wondering around in crummy weather. <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black'>It was kind funny to greet the different people I knew at S&S, and their surprise to see me a blind guy daring to venture out in the poor weather.
