RantWoman finds it fascinating to think of blind people being trained to do video description for other blind people.

Those wacky people at the NFB are the same ones who keep supporting prototype cars that would allow blind people to drive so....

Meanwhile, RantWoman had a good laugh with a new customer at the Friendly Neighborhood Center for Extreme Computing. New customer had the same sense of revelation via screen enlarger as RantWoman. New Customer spoke of someone she interacts with not realizing the degree ofher vision impairment until she, joking, told him what a wonderful polka-dotted shirt he was wearing and he protested that he was not wearing a polka-dotted shirt.

RantWoman's approach in this vein: "You are all blobs. It has nothing to do with your diet or exercise habits, but you are all blobs."

Maybe if RantWoman signs up for Video description training, she will also learn to polish the truth, at least a little.
