[Dixielandjazz] (no subject) handicapped

Guys;

There are exceptions to almost any situations of perceived 
impossibilities,

  Many years ago when I was younger and a lot foolisher , I personally 
allowed a Sightless friend of mine to drive one of my cars once, albeit 
under reasonably controlled circumstances other than the fact that we 
both had had a bit too much to drink and should have not done so.  We 
did however do it on the soccer field in Golden Gate Park which in 
itself was a big No No, and we are lucky we did not get caught.   I 
also arranged on a private flight once for the pilot of a small plane 
we were flying in to allow him to fly the plane for a few minutes,  not 
sure if the pilot had it on automatic pilot or not, but there was not 
much traffic in the air so it was a pretty safe flight and the pilot 
took over for the landing :))   Yep! we had too much fun in those days.

And then there is that story about Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles and 
two other sightless players playing golf and holding up the game, for  
three foursomes behind them, the engineer in the foursome behind them  
made the suggestion to the course management,  to speed up the game for 
them and not discriminate against them at all would simply be to 
arrange for them to Play at Night, when all the sighted folks would 
then be handicapped and not be able to play.   Kind of like even out 
the playing field and make everyone happy.

Cheers,

Tom

Actually Dan, many do play tennis, basketball and  other sports. You 
just
never know.
