[Mn-parents] [nabs-l] Asking a favor: vote to spread a positive view of blindness.

[Carly B]

Hi,

I watched this video and I didn't see anywhere that the gentleman was using
a cane. I saw him getting on a bus, sitting on a bus, apparently reading a
newspaper, pulling the cord, getting off the bus, but nowhere did I see a
cane, or any indication, in fact, that he is blind at all! Am I missing
something?
