what's wrong with camping in a park? Is your wife sighted? There might be some challenges if the two of you are blind but if you're the only one that is blind and your wife is sighted then I don't see the problem going camping. I do it, and I don't have a wife, but when I would go with my family I still enjoyed it. Sure I had to learn around the camp site and how to get to the restroom, which is a challenge when it's totally dark outside as the depth perception is less for me. I managed though. Talk to you all later. and camping in the back yard is so much fun.

Hi, I'm not concerned she'll run away. I wanted a parimeter alarm if in case anyone wanted to go bother the folks in the tent on the lawn. (that's me). I'd happily electrify the fence but the fence goes to the sidewalk and there might be a legal challenge that would hold up. :) On Wed, 3 Mar 2010, Jennifer Jackson wrote: > Refresh my memory on how old your child is again, please? > > What about a short tether tied on your wrist and hers? > > > Jennifer > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Spiro > To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com > Sent: Wednesday, March 03, 2010 8:29 AM > Subject: [BlindHandyMan] lmidnight altert system > > > > Hi folks, > I want to assemble something. > I need to figure it out first. > It's blind related. > I'm blind, and I've promised my kid we will sleep in the tent on the lawn > over the summer.
