No, not surprising at all.  Hey, everybody, incidentally, it is his birthday 
today.

hey there ray and all --
Well I also have never heard of any stats on the number of blind barefooters
there are compared with sighted ones, but when you think of it, one
advantage of going barefoot for a blind person would be that the nerves in
the feet might be a good source of info about your surroundings.
I can think of a personal experience of stepping in a puddle of soapy water
and falling once, which might not have happened if I had either seen the
puddle or felt it with my toes before stepping in it.
Anyway, it's just a thought.
Not a surprising question out of ray, eh?
Have a good summer.
