[This is from the Blink Talk Conference]

Also consider that I always thought they were putting those
audibles at certain intersections for the convenience of blind
travelers. I don't know, for instance, why the one out here is
actually here, accept that it is extremely close to the
Massachusetts Association For The Blind.
They have a residential program for retarded blind people, and
maybe they felt that th"re was a safety issue involved. It
didn't just pop up there by magic.
