I for one, am fully supportive for wheelchair accessibility. What kind of an ass would I be if I didn't. There is only one instance that I just don't get, so bare with me and I will paint the picture.
Last night I took a trip to Walmart to pick up a few things with my number one child and on the way home I stopped at Sonic to pick up a burger. Right there in front of me is a sign stating you can not get out of your car. Now not only do they have tables for outside dining, but two parking places for wheel chairs.
What totally confuses me is, Why have wheelchair parking when you can't get out of the car? To top that off, why is there tables to sit at when you can't leave your car? To make matters worse, they even have a public toilet. Now I don't know about you, but I like to get out of my car to eat outside and I certainly like to get out of my car to go to the toilet. So are you starting to see the dilemma?
Now, just to enforce the law, they have off duty officers parked around the building to make sure you don't get out of the car, that is just in case you were thinking of getting out of your car to eat at the table or use the restroom. What a tease.
The second thing I see that really gets me, braille on drive through ATM's.
Now I feel for anyone with impaired vision, lets give them every opportunity, but folks, lets not encourage them to drive.
Are you worried? I'm worried.
Right down the street from my house is a non-profit business for the vision impaired. Folks, these people are driving cars! How are they passing the vision tests? I have trouble getting through the eye exam now. Nice to know that when I do go blind, I can still drive.
Enough of the prattle. If your a smart person, you will probably want to stay home now. Till next time ..... the toothless fairy.
