Kansas, a couple of years ago was considering removing the presidency

or if the changes took place.

Arizona has no license requirement for CCW. So it seems reasonable
that a blind man could carry.


I was legally blind without my glasses when I went into the US Army
back in the '70s.


I meant to write "proficiency" above.

I'm in early stages of Glaucoma, myself. Time for a larger monitor :-\

Each of the eye doctors I've gone to have been concerned about glaucoma after
they've looked at my eyes. The pressure is fine (middle to low end of the
range) but the optic nerve pad is small, which is the real problem with
glaucoma. Each of them, after watching it every six months for a couple of
years has come to the conclusion that that's just the way it is. The most
recent even commented that perhaps my mother never did have glaucoma, rather I
inherited that trait from her. It wasn't glaucoma that did her eyes in, but
macular degeneration. Ugly! (OTHO, the was 90).
