[NAGDU] unfamiliar places

[d m gina]

Original I am hoping in time that the aira glasses company will lower 
rates so all can have time to work with them.
Then when you are in an area you can still get help.
I was guided threw the wallmart parking lot yesterday.
What a thrill for me.
What makes me laugh is this, my dog even listens to the person talking to me.
So when going between two poles we didn't sniff either one.
Now this is a dog thing says my dog, and most of the time we go threw 
sniffing them.
I still give direction where it was wonderful to know I can get out 
more and not be afraid.
