Well, Dan, and others, sighted folks have the cars, bikes, etc., and the
ability to see new areas where they are traveling--but I have seen many
sighted folks who are not the best drivers--some I won't ride with at all any
more, and sighted folks who can't read a map worth a dern and who, maybe being
able to see a new area, still can't function.  And, I've seen blind folks who
can and can't function well using techniques we blind folks use.  I believe
somewhat we're saying the same things.
