[Ohio-talk] Thought of you

[COLLEEN ROTH]

Hi,
I hate to wear hats. The only headgear I would want to wear is a Chapel Veil or if in another State in Life a black veil with a black or brown habit.
I am so glad we do not have to wear hats any more.
Just Chapel Veils in some circumstances.
I would wear glasses to get info though.
Hats are penance except the kind I described earlier.

I tried out a device about ten years ago where you felt tactile impulses on your forhead and this provided information about the world around you, including "seeing" trees, buildings, doorways and sidewalk perimeters. It actually worked, though the info you received about the environment wasn't enough to make it worth wearing the device which I think was incorporated into a hat.
