>> Hi Listers:
>> Since I've been quite busy, I'm just now catching up with the last two 
>> weeks of your posts, so here goes!
>> First, (because I just can't resist) to all my conservative friends,
>> As one who went door-to-door in October, using all the skills I'd aquired 
>> at Blind Inc. (graduating class1992), and as one who gathered with a group 
>> of over 200 people on November 4, people of all races, genders, sexual 
>> orientations, religious backgrounds, and physical abilities, to cheer and 
>> weep and celebrate the evolution of our country's collective mentality, I 
>> have but one thing to say:
>> Obama 2012!!!
>> Second, as above mentioned, I attended Blind Inc. Every life skill I 
>> learned was instructed by a blind person, minus the home management 
>> section. As a newly blind person, the thought of traveling the Minneapolis 
>> streets with a blind cane instructor, at first, scared the hell out of me, 
>> but that lasted about a week, and I realized I had to relinquish 
>> prejudices if I were to succeed in accepting my own situation. Having lost 
>> my sight at age 21, I had many years of ignorance to shed; my experiences 
>> with the blind had been very limited and unfortunately, somewhat negative. 
>> Without the NFB and Blind Inc, I'm not sure where I'd be or If I'd "be" 
>> right now.
>> I have fully accepted my blindness and when asked, as I have been many 
>> times, I can say with no hesitation that, if given the chance, I have no 
>> interest in regaining my sight. What I'd really like to be free of, is the 
>> cause of my blindness; type 1 diabetes, but that, too, I have managed to 
>> find a certain level of comfort with, despite how much more it frustrates 
>> me than the blindness ever has.
>> John:
>> I loved the years I lived in Minneapolis and St. Paul. You are so right 
>> about public transit and blind services. Love brought me to Florida and a 
>> city where sidewalks and buses are very limited, and many a day, I wish 
>> for the good old days of waiting for a cross-town 94 in 20 below weather. 
>> Sounds crazy, I suppose, but if I could convince the Floridian I love to 
>> move, we might very well end up as your neighbors, which I think would be 
>> fabulous, as I truly enjoy your intellect and insight here on the list.
>> Finally, one of my novels, co-authored with Gabriel Horn, has been picked 
>> up by a publisher, All Things That Matter Press, and will be available 
>> later this year. This is my first book-length publication, so, despite the 
>> pesky diabetes, a little champagne has been consumed in celebration. 
>> Congratulations to Lori and Judith on your recent publications.
>> Please excuse the length of this message; just making up for lost time.
>> Amy Krout-Horn
