    That's pretty incredible, J_9! Thanks for sharing! :)

    Yeah my blind friends back in the 70's could tell money too. Their senses are heightened and can picture things by touch and texture.
    They would say '' I went and saw Blazing Saddles yesterday. When I got home I turned on the light but the bulb was burned out''.

    It amused me at first but I got use to it.

    I want to know why they're called drive through windows. You drive next to them, not through them.

    And, momma, I think a new paint job should be warning enough. Now, the tough question, would you paint the nose or the boot red?
