and Bryan were diagnosed during childhood, with the condition known as
Stargardt’s disease, a juvenile form of macular degeneration. Over time, with
this disease, there is a progressive loss of central vision. Tasks such as
reading small print, recognizing faces, and doing any type of detailed work are
quite challenging. Because there is no determination of how quickly one may lose
their sight, Brad and Bryan prepared for vision loss by learning braille when
they were young.</span>

early 2016 Bryan moved to New York City, where Brad already resided. One day
they went shopping at Bloomingdale’s. Like many other blind/ visually impaired
people, they “look” at clothes with their hands. If it felt right, then they
would investigate the other details: size, price, etc.</span><br style="FONT-SIZE: medium; FONT-FAMILY: "Times New Roman"; WHITE-SPACE: normal; WORD-SPACING: 0px; TEXT-TRANSFORM: none; FONT-WEIGHT: 400; COLOR: rgb(250,250,210); FONT-STYLE: normal; ORPHANS: 2; WIDOWS: 2; LETTER-SPACING: normal; TEXT-INDENT: 0px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial"><span style="FONT-SIZE: medium; FONT-FAMILY: "Times New Roman"; WHITE-SPACE: normal; WORD-SPACING: 0px; TEXT-TRANSFORM: none; FLOAT: none; FONT-WEIGHT: 400; COLOR: rgb(250,250,210); FONT-STYLE: normal; ORPHANS: 2; WIDOWS: 2; DISPLAY: inline !important; LETTER-SPACING: normal; BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); TEXT-INDENT: 0px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial">Well,
this day they happened to get separated from one another. Once they met each
other outside the store, they made a startling discovery. They both had walked
out of the store buying the same exact shirt. It was then that they thought
about making a clothing company based entirely around the sense of touch. Their
idea was to begin making clothing with the thought of fabric first, with feel
and fit absolutely paramount, and then focus on the other things.</span>

Bryan and Brad had full-time jobs, so, in the beginning this was just their side
project. They networked with family and close friends who were in the fashion
industry and made a few hundred shirts. Bryan said that initially this was just
to be a night and weekend project to try to learn to grow a commerce brand, get
a little smarter in the fashion industry, and really just have some fun.</span>

the two blind brothers.</span>

the conclusion of our interview, Bryan was kind enough to offer to send me a
graphic t shirt to checkout for myself. Bryan picked out a shirt that I did not
come across on their website since it was in the Men’s section. Regardless it
being a “men’s” shirt, it was so “fitting” for what was on it. This particular
shirt is forest green with the word “perspective” on the front. I know, how
great is that! Not only that, the word is backwards and upside down, and the
letter “I” in perspective is written in simulated braille! This shirt is as they
advertise, very very soft to the touch, let alone when you have it on. I have
already worn this t shirt a couple of times and I have to say it is a
conversation starter. Thank you ‘Two Blind Brothers’ for taking the time for the
interview and for the wonderful t shirt!</span>

however, I need to stop by my locker to get my lunch. So, I do.</span>

with tunnel vision I could see that the sky was a beautiful October blue and
from the corner of my garage, I could easily see the woodshed door where I was
headed with the empty wheelbarrow to get a load of wood to put on my front
porch. It smelled like someone in the neighborhood already had a wood fire going
and the smell of the smoke and the smell of dried leaves in my yard were signs
that I needed to get the porch loaded with wood for my wood burner.</span>

“WHACK” on my left shoulder, as I bumped hard into the clothesline pole that I
could not see between the garage and the woodshed. My tunnel vision was the
result of Retinitis Pigmentosa, which is a genetic disorder that runs in my
family. It causes gradually more restricted tunnel vision over time, eventually
causing total blindness. Visually impaired means “partial sight” and at the same
time “partial blindness.” When a person’s vision / blindness is this way, it can
fool them into believing that they can see better than they can. I do not think
I was being stupid or “not accepting” my disability. I just thought that since I
could see some things, I was doing pretty well, even though I banged my shoulder
and it hurt a little.</span>

always thought it strange when someone would ask me “Just how much can you not
see?” I could not really answer that question, because I did not know what I was
not seeing, because I couldn’t see it. I realistically did know that my vision
was getting worse and that “someday” I would need to use a white cane and need
to learn Braille. However, that elusive “someday.” I really wasn’t thinking
about it at all on that day when I was pushing loads of wood in the wheelbarrow.
I wasn’t thinking about it until I banged into the clothesline post again on the
very next trip for another load of wood.</span>

had gone from the porch to the corner of the garage; sighted a straight path (or
so I thought,) to the woodshed and then “Bang!” again and this time on the left
side of my forehead. Not a serious injury, but I did see a few stars and I could
feel a goose egg. I hit the clothesline pole, but what else hit me hard was the
intense thought that “this blindness stuff is real and it is real for me,” and I
needed to do more to be able to take care of my family. More than loading wood
on the porch, maybe I needed to make some calls about learning how to use a
white cane and how to read Braille.</span>

think it is kind of a human tendency. When I worked at Prestera Mental Health
Center, some of the substance abuse staff would say things like, “People will
get help for addiction only when they have fallen far enough,” referring to
detrimental life circumstances that addiction can cause. I have heard some
Cabell Association of the Blind (C. W. A. B.) consumers say things like, “I
should have done something sooner about this or I should have stopped driving
sooner, “I guess It is kind of stupid.” I have had such thoughts and I think we
all do things when we are ready and we all want to think of ourselves as “doing
OK.” I believe that it is pretty much normal to not want to work on a problem

have no idea what I did later that day, but I did not continue to get firewood

person and be able to support my family. I loaded the porch later and I had to
figure out a strategy. Visually impaired and blind people often have to figure
out strategies to get things done.</span>

day was about 30 years ago and now my wife tells me the color of the sky and I
am glad that I can remember the beautiful shade of October blue. She and I
together, kept things going, working as a team; raising 3 children and keeping
the household together. Some people are naïve about blindness and they say
things to me about blindness, such as “you are lucky; your wife can do
everything for you.” Granted, she does help me, but at the same time I help her,
because we are a team and she is not my caretaker. We built our lives together
and we are both stronger for it. We don’t use the wood burner any more, but if
we did, I’m sure we would figure out a way to get the wood from the woodshed to
the porch. Maybe we would get a wagon to be pulled by our riding lawn mower. My
wife would drive the mower; I would fill the wagon and ride to the porch on the
load of wood as we would continue to work together.</span>

walking is a great option for exercise, some people with achy knees, sore hips,
or substantial weight, it can be uncomfortable for them. And, during the winter,
harsh weather in many parts of the world can make walking outdoors unpleasant,
or even treacherous at times. A water workout in a pool, or a walk along the
beach (water knee to thigh high deep) could be an appealing alternative that's
also good for your heart.</span>

key advantage to water workouts is that water makes you buoyant, which takes the
stress off your joints. That can also be especially helpful for people who are
carrying excess weight. Water also offers resistance as you move through it,
which allows you to work out vigorously (if you're able) with little chance of
injury. Water workouts can also be relaxing and meditative, which may offer some
stress relief, adding to its cardiovascular benefits.</span>

the summer month, people generally do a lot more walking; pounding the pavement.
An alternative to walking the sidewalks is called the river walk. Some
communities will have a river walk in waters 3 to 4 feet deep.</span>

author Gordon Korman pens a funny fish-out-of-water tale that even the most
reluctant reader will find impossible to resist. Capricorn Anderson has spent
his entire life on a farm with his hippie grandmother. After an accident puts
Grandma in the hospital, Cap is forced to attend Claverage Middle School and
live with his guidance counselor. The tradition at Claverage is for students to
nominate the biggest nerd for class president, and Cap is the obvious choice.
But with his odd ways and positive outlook, Cap just might turn the joke upside
down by becoming the best class president ever.</span>

Smoak is a man with skills, resources, and a personal mission to help those with
nowhere else to turn. He's also a man with a dangerous past. Chosen as a child,
he was raised and trained as part of the off-the-books black box Orphan program,
designed to create the perfect deniable intelligence assets - i.e. assassins. He
was Orphan X. Evan broke with the program, using everything he learned to
disappear.</span>

the last 5 years of writing the Braille Highway, I tried covering as many
subjects I could find, and that I thought would be of interest to the
readership. At the end of May I realized to my surprise, that I have left out a
significant segment of the blind population by not covering some deaf-blind
issues, or at least how important braille can be to them. I reached out to an
instructor of braille who teaches both blind and deaf-blind students. Find below
a little something she wrote about her experiences. As always, I look forward to
receiving readers emails and encourage you to continue sending me them, just use
the email address at the top of this article.</span>

Name is Colleen Dupuis. I am a Braille Instructor here in Lafayette, Louisiana,
at a place called the Deaf Action Center. My students are older individuals who
are deaf, and eventually they will lose their sight. Most of the students take
my class to learn and keep up there Braille skills to use the many different
phone devices that they have.</span>

started working at the Deaf Action Center back in 1997. Throughout the years, I
had to learn how to work and teach the deaf-blind. I did learn Sign Language,
although not the best at it. However, I know enough to teach my students.
Nowadays many deaf cultures don't use English Sign Language, instead they use
American Sign Language (ASL).</span>

you are signing Using ASL, you may leave out words like of, the, is, etc.,
Shortening the time it takes to sign. So, when I am Explaining Braille to my
students I have to break it down. I am totally blind myself, so when the student
and I are signing to each other we have to sign in each other’s hands. Most of
the time when a deaf-blind person is reading they have to keep one hand on the
book and sign with the other.</span>

schools in the U.S. have very comfortable accommodations, some pretty solid
options of things to do in your spare time and often times people on staff to
assist with any personal needs. Many schools have their own chefs on staff and
produce exceptional meals which can cater to many different dietary needs. Rooms
are generally very comfortable and all your dog needs in class is provided as
well.</span>

next day or two will typically be spent doing what is called “Juno training”
with your instructor. This is done by the instructor holding onto the chest
strap of the harness, attaching a leash and guiding the student. This helps the
instructor learn a student’s pace, their tone of voice when speaking to the
fictitious dog and a great deal of teaching is done about how to do hand
gestures and walk being led with a harness. Although it was seem silly or
redundant, it is a very important part of the training process and assists the
instructor in making the best match possible.</span>

day two or three in most cases—the day you’ve been waiting for finally arrives;
“dog day). This is the day you learn about your dog’s gender, name, weight and
other basic details. Your instructor will ask for your leash and return with
your new helpful companion. Although you are happy to meet your new partner, it
sometimes takes the dog a while to “turn over” to you; meaning bond with you and
relinquish his bond with his instructor. A lot of positive reassurance,
connection and praise will make this process easier for both you and your
dog.</span>

days in class will be spent bonding with your dog, learning how to function as a
team, and working several routes which are often similar to your home
environment. Obedience is practiced and lectures often happen on grooming, vet
care, play, different working scenarios, your family and your dog, public
reactions and interactions and much more.</span>

with your instructor you will be able to address any concerns or difficulties
you may have and really have a chance to ask all kinds of questions and get a
firm grasp on what it means to work as a guide dog team. Although it may seem
like a lot to digest and so much to learn, taking it day by day and remembering
that it is a big adjustment for your dog too can really help.</span>

banks can range from the very small and slim, offering enough battery power for
emergency purposes, to extremely large capacity power banks that are strong
enough to jump a car battery. There are ones that are built-in to purses,
backpacks, even phone cases. They are available in a variety of shapes and
sizes. Some can charge anywhere from one device up to 4, and possibly more at
the same time.</span>

remember my first O&M lesson very well. I had to enter a room, navigate
obstacles with my new cane, and find a box on a desk within a time limit.
Without further instructions or any idea of the room layout, I ventured forth to
find the box. To my surprise, there were several desks, chairs, and other
furniture in my way. Do I turn left or right? Where is the desk? How much time
is left? As you can imagine, I became very frustrated and I got lost. In the
end, I didn’t find the box within the time limit. In the lengthy discussions
that followed many new routes and trips, I learned from my mistakes. Every trip
I made enhanced my skills. You can use these O&M strategies for navigating
your iDevice.</span>

Learn how to navigate. You will need to determine the Mail app layout and decide
on your route to send an email. The Mail app consists of screen elements where
you move from one element to the next using a gesture or command. You can “Tap”
once to select an element and “Double-Tap” to activate that element. A screen
element might be a button that will compose an email or an area where you can

elements or move the VO Cursor to edit text.</span>

Identify key landmarks to keep you on track or to quickly navigate an app. Each
element or button can be a virtual landmark. The compose button, for example, is
in the lower right corner for iPhone. You can use the gesture or command to move
to the last element to compose your email.</span>

Use all of your senses. You can identify a landmark by moving your finger across
the screen and have VO read the screen elements to you. Companies like AT Guys
created a tactile screen overlay for iPhone. Learn the Landmarks and you’ll know

it is your turn to put your iOS O&M skills to work. Start with one task you
perform often. Record the steps and revise as necessary. Learning an app will
take time and practice and may result in several mistakes and learning
opportunities. Remember, as my O&M instructor drilled into me, “You are not
lost as long as you can get back to where you started.” You will become more
comfortable and confident with lots of practice. Good Luck!</span>

let’s cover the basics. Most plants need to live in soil, have water and some
amount of sunshine. Containers need to allow for water drainage; a plant can
live in a container without drainage, but will do better over a longer period if

seeds in the wells of an egg carton or in small pots. Be gentle when feeling to
see if they have risen above the soil’s surface. Wait until more than 2,
preferably at least 3 sets, of leaves appear before moving plants into a larger
container or garden. Seeds can be sown directly in or on the soil. To plant
seeds in a row, a string strung between two sticks or poles offer a guiding
line. Basic rules say that if you need seeds one inch apart, use the distance
between the tip of your thumb and the knuckle. A basic 4 inch guide is your hand
width. An 8 inch – 9 inch guide is the length of your hand from wrist to the
longest fingertip. Whether planting seeds or sprouted plants, these general
guides give recommendations so that plants aren’t overcrowded. When your sprouts
emerge, if there are many seeds in one spot, use scissors to snip out the small
starts. This allows space for the largest plant to grow. If too many sprouted
plants compete for growing space, the root systems crowd each other, and none of
the plants do well. By pulling the extra seedlings, you may disturb the soil of
that whole cluster of plants.</span>

transplanting, or moving plants from one container to another, dig your hole
first, making it slightly deeper and bigger around than the container it is
coming from. I like to water the soil a plant will be going into. Push the sides
of the container to loosen the soil before trying to get the plant out. Gently
place the plant between two fingers, and turn the plant upside down, squeezing
the container in hopes of releasing the plant. Insert the plant into the hole,
then fill with soil just to the base of the plant. Support the plant to keep it
upright. Don’t pack the soil; gently tamp soil around the plant.</span>

muscles, bones, and joints. My doctor had tested me for Lupus, and that came
back negative. Without any other ideas, we let the matter rest and I just dealt
with the annoying symptoms.</span>

a friend told me that I could have a form of Celiac Disease that did not
manifest in the typical digestive symptoms, but that showed up in every way that
I was experiencing. If eliminating gluten from my diet would make me feel
better, I was all for it. So, I went completely gluten-free for the entire
summer. I felt amazing. I had more energy than I’d had in ages, my headaches all
but disappeared, and the phantom aches and pains that had plagued me at only 29
years old, were gone. Of course, to make that experiment meaningful, I had to
see how I reacted when I introduced the gluten back into my diet. Well, I was
exhausted.</span>

I went back for my yearly blood tests, my iron and vitamin D were low despite
supplementation and a decent diet, my thyroid was heading towards underactivity,

gluten free again, I went back to re-test, and all of the numbers were back in
their normal ranges. That was enough evidence for me! I felt good being gluten
free, and I found the diet easy enough to comply with, though I did miss a few
of my favorite foods.</span>

this year, several people have begun to question my choice to avoid gluten. They
ask whether I’m really intolerant to gluten, or if it’s just wheat that’s the
problem. They ask if I can’t just have a little gluten once in a while. Can’t I
just have a slice of pizza or cake now and then? Why worry about cross
contamination? Surely it can’t be that bad. It’s not like I’m rushing to the
bathroom every time I have a bite of bread, after all. I found the questions
annoying, but also disconcerting. Is it really all in my head? That’s what drove
me to get the blood test. Even knowing that the test is not 100% accurate, any
result would give me a place to start from. A month of eating gluten would give
me a basis for whether I should continue to avoid it or incorporate it back into
my diet.</span>

the test result was negative. While there’s still a chance that I may have
Celiac, it’s not showing up in the blood work, which is good to know. This past
month has been a clear reminder as to why I do not eat gluten anymore. For the
first couple of weeks, my energy was incredibly low. I was so tired all the
time! I started to notice that I was not thinking as clearly as I am accustomed
to, and I was beginning to lose focus with physical exertion. That can be a
problem when your favorite activity involves kicking and dodging! As the month
wore on, the extreme exhaustion diminished into a general tiredness, but the
brain fog continued to get worse. I began to notice more headaches popping up
that should not have been an issue since I have my pollen allergies under
control. In the last week, I’ve noticed the phantom muscle, bone, and joint
pains return, and I generally feel as though I’m falling apart. It’s not a good
feeling. Even though the test was negative, there is an undeniable connection
between my mental, emotional, and physical health, and whether or not I am
consuming gluten. I no longer care that I’ve not been officially diagnosed with
Celiac – I am done eating wheat. Once I am feeling better, I do plan to
experiment with other grains to see if gluten itself is the culprit, or if it is
merely wheat that is problematic.</span>

glad I went through this month’s dietary experiment. It gave me the chance to
eat some of my favorite foods that I haven’t had in years, and it gave me the
chance to discover that I don’t actually like many of those foods anymore. Most
importantly, though, it showed me that I really do have a problem with gluten,
or at least wheat. It really does negatively affect my health. Unless you have
an anaphylactic reaction to a food that you are avoiding, I would recommend
testing your own reaction to that food once in a while. It can be helpful to
test your limits and verify assumptions. You may find that you can handle that
food. Or, like me, you may confirm that it is not something that works for you.
In either case, the chance to learn more about yourself and your body is a great
opportunity.</span><br style="FONT-SIZE: medium; FONT-FAMILY: "Times New Roman"; WHITE-SPACE: normal; WORD-SPACING: 0px; TEXT-TRANSFORM: none; FONT-WEIGHT: 400; COLOR: rgb(250,250,210); FONT-STYLE: normal; ORPHANS: 2; WIDOWS: 2; LETTER-SPACING: normal; TEXT-INDENT: 0px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial"><span style="FONT-SIZE: medium; FONT-FAMILY: "Times New Roman"; WHITE-SPACE: normal; WORD-SPACING: 0px; TEXT-TRANSFORM: none; FLOAT: none; FONT-WEIGHT: 400; COLOR: rgb(250,250,210); FONT-STYLE: normal; ORPHANS: 2; WIDOWS: 2; DISPLAY: inline !important; LETTER-SPACING: normal; BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); TEXT-INDENT: 0px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial">Happy

get started! With your eye open and looking up, bring the mascara brush to the
base of your upper eyelashes from the inside out. In other words, use your nose
as a platform to steady your hand. Take the brush, holding it horizontally and
as close to your eyelid as you feel comfortable with, and wiggle it a bit as you
pull it out towards the tips of your eyelashes. Wiggling will lift and give curl
to the lashes. Try not to lose total contact with your lashes.</span>

does take practice. A great idea is to have a damp cloth and under eye corrector
nearby to clean up any mishaps. You can either take a picture to quickly send to
a friend or use another source of sighted help to get feedback on your
application. I always feel my lashes once they have had a chance to dry, to see
if I am happy with the way they turned out.</span>
