[Sportsandrec] family yard sports

Hi, Justin,

,

Perhaps, others may explain a state of blinkdom better than I, but, 
as I understand it, when somebody blinks there is a split second in 
which their vision is obstructed. I'm talking a split second. Maybe 
it isn't really blindness but it's damned near a state of blindness, they say.
Thus, by this logic, if one is in a perpetual state of blinkdom, he 
is therefore stone blind. :15 PM 6/6/2011, you wrote:
