[nfb-talk] Something I've noticed!

One of the reasons I look online for the menu is because oftentimes the
braille menus are out of date.  And, sighted people also look online for the
menus.

 We deserve a menu as much as the sighted and many a time we deside to go
out on the sper of the moment.  I just want to go out.  I should not have to
get on a computer just to be able to enjoy a good meal out.
