Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry, Alice! Yikes, the bureaucracy (sp?) is ludicrous! (And, having been born and raised in the D.C. area with a federal employee as my father, I have to say it is all too familiar! )

Two of my adopted brotherrs are blind. They will think this is so funny. I'll have to pass the story on to them.

Hey Bridget, I have heard the blind are allowed to hunt (with rifles) in Michigan...

The sad part is that many states don't test later for blindness. I have a friend with macular degeneration who is legally blind, but still has an active licence and a handicap parking sticker. She renews both from time to time.....
