[nagdu] making adjustments

Wed Mar 27 12:13:38 UTC 2013

We use revolving doors all the time, because that's how I get into my office 
building.  It's people-powered though, not automatic.  Once in a while, Ben 
will step into one of the big automatic ones, but we don't find them too 
often.  If he does, I just let him boogy on through.  I'm not crazy about 
the automatic ones, but the manual ones are easy.
Ben's never had any trouble with automatic doors, what I call Seeing Eye 
doors, except sometimes he tries to go in the out door and vice versa.
