[Ncabs] information about an online survey about blindness and travel skills

[Jewel S.]

Someone objected to this survey on the NABS list, but I think it's a
good one. It seemed genuinely interested in problems and successes,
and I was glad to take it. It took no time at all. Do take it, guys.
It's really easy.
