My youngest brother lost his eyesight a few years before the fall that caused it took his life, so I have been around a blind person for a short period of time. He adapted to it a lot quicker and better than I would have I am sorry to say. As for the handicapped parking, we had a sticker for the car when I took him places, but I never park in one of those places and have taken license plate numbers and turned them in back when the police would actually do something around here. A short time back I saw one of our police cruisers parked in the one at the post office and thought if that person is so disabled they can't walk an extra 15 feet maybe they shouldn't be driving either. I went in and it was one of the newer ones we have who was about 6' 2" and in better health than 90% of the people around here. And there were 10 or 12 open parking places right down the row beside where he had parked. People just don't seem to care any more.
