I hear you, Joe; there are some areas that definitely present more challenges.

Hi, not lost my freedom to walk just want to be live a long time to walk. If this means modifying how I walk to me this is ok. I would rather be walkingat 90 years old then dead or mangle up at 50 something. sign, Joe Plummer (JP) joeplummer@xxxxxxx -----Original Message-----From: tabi-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:tabi-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On BehalfOf Sila Miller Sent: September 26, 2010 8:10 PM To: tabi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [tabi] Re: pedestrian/auto accident report yesterday Hi Joe, Your message makes me sad. I was afraid right after I got struck by a car that I'd feel this way but ...I, for one REFUSE to stop walking outside. I REFUSE to always be accompaniedby another person be they sighted or blind. I REFUSE to be controlled by automobiles, inconsiderate and uneducated drivers, or my fear. While Itotally understand and respect your point of view, I do not share it at all.I hope there are others out there who feel as I do. Without us persistent,possibly crazy blind pedestrians, some of whom don't have any other choice,driving etiquette might possibly disappear all together. Be aware and take care but don't forego your freedom to walk.

I have quick walking outside in the city of Tallahassee all together with out at least one visual person with me. It is just dangers. I do most of my walking in the malls and stores now. It is much safer andcooler in the summer and warmer in the winter and whole lot less pollen inthe spring and fall. It is Just all around the best for me . Just my thoughts. Also I don't live in Tallahassee but if I did I would just take a taxies or bum from a friend or relative. Not going to do the bus transit in Tallahassee. Just my thoughts. sign, Joe Plummer (JP) joeplummer@xxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: tabi-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:tabi-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Allison and Chip Orange Sent: September 26, 2010 10:57 AM To: tabi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [tabi] pedestrian/auto accident report yesterday Hi all,I'm sorry to report to you, coming from today's Democrat, that a woman wasstruck while walking on E.
