I have had a thought for a while now, and I would like to get some feed back. To make a long story short I wrote an article describing a situation where I was telling a sighted Brother in law I had replaced the radiator on the Familly car. He could not or would not believe me. Well this kind of thing is all too common to every last one of us. On one hand We could say we have nothing to prove but on the other hand any time that we can prove our claims of being able to do what ever it is that we can do such as building or remodeling a house or rebuilding an engine or even some thing as simple and mundain as shuvaling our own side walk. It will ultimately help the nex blind person that a doubting thomas meets once they see first hand not only that it can be done but even how it is done. Again what I have is only a thought not a plan. what I was thinking about doing for my brother in law was having my Wife video tape me replacing a radiator and explaining what I was doing and making it kind of like an instructional video. If we could get some footage like this of real life situations that the general public could see I wonder how helpful it could be. What the heck it could even be entertaining and most people like to be entertained. Believe it or not you never know when some sighted person may show you or tell you a way that they saw another blind person do some thing that may be of great help to you. Every one wins. If any one knows of a project like this already under way please let me know. I know that we have the blind handy man show and cooking in the dark and so on And I might add that they are quite informative and entertaining but I was thinking more along the lines of getting some footage out on local cable or some such thing. or even having a web site that people could douwn load clips.
It could be called some thing like Hell ya, I can do that!! or at least Heck ya I can do that. Is this good or have I lost my marbles?
