I have been taking uber with no problems with my dog. 
I personally am glad we have the service. 

We went to the count down party.

When Rolanda Douglas was called, all 14 blind individuals stood up  until Douglas was dismissed. Douglas asked for a continuance . with  a smile on her face, she asked the jdge what exactly are my charges? you  will hear that in the last story done by channel 2, who was in the court room with us. We  also had thenew NAGDU  brochures  that we shared with the detectives and others present. It was a strengthening and educating moment.
