You do live in a great city.  Cheers to you and your city. Even though it's
really cold, it's a nice place.

Sure, Judith.  The bottom line is to be happy as you.  So that's great.

However, it may be worthwhile to add that becoming blind has not altered my
ability to do anything.  Perhaps this is thanks to my location.  Minnesota
has some of the nation's very best services for the deafblind, and I live in
downtown St. Paul.  Transportation and access here is such that even my
wife, who is sighted, finds it unnecessary to have a car.  In fact, a car
would be a burden and not always the fastest way to travel around here.  I
take the boys to the doctor, to their karate and dance classes, and so on.
No problem.

I suppose that if I became blind in miz-Arkansas, I'd experience more
disabling b arriers--no sidewalks, no public transportation, little or no
services to provide equipment, not much of a deafblind community . . .

This just illustrates how important the set-up is.  It is important to
anyone, but for the sighted, society offers more ideal set-ups for them in
more places.  But in many places only a few things added or altered can make
a world of difference.

But here, it's so ideal that I can't thinki of anything that needs to be
improved.
