Hah! I heard that story about the camra phone, and it was a girl when I heard it. If I am pretty sure but not quite sure I am in front of my house and I don't want to appear stupid, sometimes I will use my garage door opener on my key chain to open the garage. Now, if it ever opens one of the neighbor's garages? Then I might get in trouble. ----- Original Message ----- From: Lenny McHugh To: Blind Handyman Sent: Sunday, February 10, 2008 7:11 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] find home
The comment about a guide dog not finding home but every home in the block prompted me to post this. Incidentally my new guide Micah who I sometimes call clueless can't find home. A friend recently had to retire her guide. Where she lives she has a major problem finding her home. She knew that she was on the correct street but a very long sidewalk around the development gave no clue to her home. Her husband purchased a wireless door bell that has a fairly long range. When she thinks that she is near her home the doorbell on the porch guides her home. As forgetting lost I read on a list that one guy was quite ingenious. He has a good friend who is a cab driver. Being a cab driver he is familiar with every part of town. When this guy gets lost he uses his camera phone to take some pictures and emails them to the cabby. The guy then calls his friend and tells him where he is and how to get back. Don't know if anyone on list can use these ideas but it is something to ponder over.
