    Can you walk a block of your local neighbourhood blind?

    I did it today and the last 6 days completely blind. It's amazing how your memorizing ability amps up when you are blind. I have so much respect for blind people right now.

    Can I ask how this came about? Why were you walking around blindfolded?

    No alcohol involved? No family arguments? No setting fire to stuff? What kind of Jayburner story is this?

    Easily, but I wouldn't want to because there's traffic and highways right here.

    Walking around blind is a good way to get hit by kids on bikes.

    If all the people and cars were removed from the situation, probably. I'd probably die otherwise.

    We have handy yellow tiles with a raised pattern here to assist blind people. Sometimes the execution of that idea falls short:

    With COVID-19 making its impact on our lives, I have decided that I shall hang in there for my remaining days, skip some meals, try to get children to experiment with making henna patterns on their skin, and plant some trees. You know -- live, fast, dye young, and leave a pretty copse. I feel like I may not have that quite right.

    Proberbly,
    But I would more than likely be robbed, beaten, and left for dead.

    My neighborhood doesn't have sidewalks, the roads are narrow with deep ditch lines and I'd likely get mugged at some point. So no, not a chance.
