    Hi Carla, don't feel to silly if you will recall when you had better
visio that then you would also generate pictures of people. We are a
very visual orientated animal. When we talk to people on the phone and
such we all build images off what ey look like. I have tried to stop
this habit because usually I'ay off base on what they really look like.
You sure get some suprises when you finally see them if you have built
and image. So you liked the Rubbermaid blue, great color, of all things
to retain a vivid color memory of that's pretty intresting. There have
been a few people (sighted) that have maintained that when blindfolded
that they could tell the color of objects handed them just by touch.
Most of theses people were part of Russian"experiments" in ESP. I told
don't hold these reports to be very accurate or even true.
   One thing that you might find intresting is that most people do not
dream in color. You are one of the lucky few. I can't remember the
percentageff hand but it is somewhere like only a 1/4 dream in col When
you talk about being off in perception of your friends don't feel to
bad. Everytime I've changed wheelchairs I have to go through a
readjustment on determining other peoples heights. My manual was higher
than my tricart seat and so now people are seeming much taller to me
again. It took me awhile to be able to somewhat accurately judge peoples
heights when I first started using a chair. I mean every one seemed to
be giants. I eventually adapted to that height difference for a referenc
and then changed chairs. It is really funny how we can be so thrown of
in perception by perspective. Of course being in a wheelchair has
changed my visual perception alot, now I see alot of peoples buns
instead of faces. Ray took me to a truck salvage store, the place was a
mad house. They had junk and people all over the place. His intructions
to me were if I saw something I liked to grab it. While I knew that he
meant that if there was something I wanted to buy you had to take it
when you see it or it won't be there for long. The imp in me kept
thinking as basically all I could see were guys buns, that if I saw some
I liked I should grab him and just tell him my husband told me to.
