LOL! You and the NFB can't be serious?

Hello Alison and listers,

    That's all the more the reason to support the NFB'S effort to  
promote
the development of a vehicle drivable by a blind person. I  
contemplated that
possibility back in 1969 when I was coming in to my teens. Sighted teens
grow up and learn to drive cars so why shouldn't it be the same way  
for a
blind person. It's exciting to know that that dream is on its way to
becoming a reality. I wish they'd bring a few of those prototypes to  
next
year's national convention so we can try them out.

LOL.  It probably was supposed to be 1:00 PM.      I didn't write the
original message.  However, if a 1 AM meeting would get me better local
transportation, I'd do it in a second!

I'm feeling really frustrated today because I can't get *anyone* to  
drive me
to an event I wanna go to this weekend.  There are others going to the  
same
event, but no one feels like they can possibly go a little out of  
their way
to take me along.  This is even with my offer of full gas money.  I  
simply
don't understand why so many people with cars can't be persuaded to  
drive
anyone else anywhere.  <sigh>.

Thanks for listening to my mini rant.

Allison
