[nabs-l] a question about getting lost

[David Andrews]

He, your aid is wrong.  All of us get lost occasionally, but the 
trick is in getting out of it, that is getting unlost.  There may not 
be anyone around so you will have to rely on your own devices.  Don't 
let sighted people decide for you what is good, or important.
