A Room of One's Own

Walking through the Times Square subway, see a woman drop an atm receipt (looked more like she threw it to the side, actually). She then turns back to look at it, and I realize that a man with sunglasses and an I'm-blind cane is pointing it out to her...what the whaaat?

I moved to a 1br, 1 bath apartment that is really a room with a bathroom also. It's nice and not, and it's off a convenient train that becomes really really inconvenient pretty often, and it's quiet but noisy and private but not. So I like it and I don't.

But there's something to be said for having a place more or less to yourself.

by my work we have a blind center and they have a few blind people who point things out all the time.

Apartment living always sucks...but at least it's your own! :o)

to jen's point, some blind people can actually see. there's scale of your eyesight where there becomes a point where you can be legally blind. so you can be "legally blind," but still be able to see (ex. color blindness; they're considered blind, but they can still see).
