[stylist] would it?

[Barbara Hammel]

I think if you have acquired blindness skills you are embracing your 
"disability".  There's no reason to throw it out there all the time.  People 
will know the instant they see your cane--or even for some, their eyes--that 
you are blind.  Stating so would be stating the obvious.
Barbara

If wisdom's ways you wisely seek, five things observe with care:  of whom 
you speak, to whom you speak, and how and when and where.
