I love the nudie bar idea--I already laughed. I hope your book makes it into 
libraries. The driving questions stores people told on the other list were 
amusing, too. I hope some people send you their stories. There were a lot of 
stupid and inconsiderate sighted people stories, and some stories about 
misconceptions we slighted people, at least I, have, like assuming that when 
your eyes are closed everything is black. I didn't think of black being a color.
