To open, we share stories of kids from long ago. Fires, flour, and speech troubles. News of the week features naked men from Florida, airplane parts and trees falling from the sky, unlucky deer, lottery winners, false Amber alerts, and more.
Terry’s top ten is all about the big football game that dominates TV ratings this time of year. Learn a batch of Super Bowl trivia before we go into our anchor topic. If you want to learn something in particular about blindness, drop us a line and ask. Today we discuss a few tips on what to do with the long white cane while it’s not in use.
We wrap up with a letter from a listener and some final thoughts. Please. Send in your letters, so we can share your funny family story. We can focus our anchor topic on a topic you want to know about.
Note: In the anchor topic, Jill mentions a song. I don’t think I found the right one, and I didn’t have time to contact the folks who posted: “White Cane Day” on youtube.com.
Here are notes from their youtube post:

White Cane Safety Day is October 15th! Jack Straw Cultural Center and students in the 2016 Blind Youth Audio Project wrote and recorded this song in honor of this annual celebration, first proclaimed by Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964. More information on White Cane Safety Day can be found at the National Federation of the Blind’s web site: https://nfb.org/white-cane-safety-day
