Dear KC, I live in Santa Rosa California, about 55 miles north of San Francisco. Once in a while, the temp will be over 100, but most of the time it stays in the 70 to 90 range.
I live on the third floor of an apartment complex and I must walk a long ways to get to the elevator and those books are just too heavy. I wish that all blind and deaf blind had access to refreshable braille and/or voice notetakers. A person is very limited when they are only able to use paper braille. I agree with you there should be a program for lending such devices to people who need them. Terri, Amateur Radio call sign KF6CA.
