[This is from the Blink Talk Conference]

Margo, according to the Medi-Cal office in California, blind people only
have a social handicap and so aren't entitled to medical transportation.
I think that is the stupidist thing I ever heard.  Fortunately my
insurance is with a private HMO and I don't have to be concerned about
that garbage.  I know that this doesn't apply to everyone here, but I
have taken the attitude that if I look so bad that it appears I will be
ushered into the immediatepresentspresence of ST. Pete.  I also don't
use public transportation if I feel so badly that I don't feel that I
can make judgments.  Venture is wonderful, but it is only fair to ask so
much.  If I just feel rotten, and may look quite pale, I use the bus.
