Heh! That's great. A blind guy is the designated driver. I can see 2 wasted guys explaining this, with complete sincerity, to the police. But yeah, I hear you about sighted folks. And I'm sure everyone else does too. I was just talking to a blind friend about that today. We were marveling at how it never changes. Oh well. I don't want to put a damper on this crazy thread. So maybe I'll see if I can get a hunting license. Ha! Tom ----- Original Message ----- From: "D!J!X!" <megamansuperior@xxxxxxxxxxx> > LOL Tom, it looks like we have some similarities!
