Margo, don't compare your travel abilities with a sighted person
who is at the botom of the range.  Since you are at the top of the
range for your travel abilities, then compare you travel abilities
with a sighted who also has good travel abilities, and then you
will not be on top.  No matter how good we are with our abilities,
and addaptions, there is no substitute for sight.  Are you going to
tell me that if you had a chance to get your sight, that you would
turn it down?  If not, then there must be something superior about
sight for getting things done.
