Well darn it, I just found out that Muscular Dystrophy finally got Jesse Davidson. He was all over the news. He was the Jesse’s journey guy. He and his dad raised a lot of money and awareness about MD. I’m sure he has left quite a legacy. He lived to be 29, which is pretty …

GDB’s Online Gift Shop Is Back!
Just a quick plug that the GDB gift shop is alive and kickin’. Well, mostly kickin’. It appears I can’t make an account because I’m Canadian. They have all kinds of obscure islands there, but not Canada…unless you’re in the armed forces that is. Edit: The one who needs kickin’ is me. If you just …
Teenage Mutant Ninja Burglars
It’s not every day that a robber enters someone’s house by smashing through their skylight and repelling down, but that’s what happened to a man this week. It’s also not every day that said robber is wearing a ninja mask. What a horrible thing to wake up to. You’re sleeping, and suddenly, … smash! And …
Do The Roundabout Dance With Council
Well, it looks like it’s getting closer to decision time for that roundabout. So, if you have strong feelings about it, speak up now or forever hold your peace. Talk to your councilors and tell them your feelings. If you don’t know how to contact your councilors, this website will get you going in the …
Autotune the Puke
Wow, there’s nothing the Autotune the News guys won’t think to work their magic with. Now, they’ve made the balloon boy’s puking into semi-music. Awesome! I’m so glad I go back and check on that channel every now and then.
And The Winners Are…
Remember back when I was talking about the 2009 Access Recognition Awards? Well, we now are announcing the winners, so I thought I’d put the press release up here. It was so cool to see Trixie’s vet and Ryan’s win an award. You know how I feel about Ryan’s. Plus, I know Sue Alexander too. …
You’ll Have Clear Vision, But He’s Going Blind
I wonder if John Gill knew Joseph Vernell. They both had nasty ideas about their patients while doing an eye exam. This one seems even scarier than the last one for some reason. He took a girl into the back room of his shop because he said he wanted to give her a visual field …

Somebody Woke Up And Had Some Sense
Well, it appears the cash for grades program has been given a failing grade. When the school board found out about it, they shut it down, and there may be more disciplinary action in the works. What I think is even more scary is how strongly one of the parents still wants to defend the …
Monkey Maul, Victim Sue
Remember that old story about Travis the chimp mauling that poor woman? Well, if you didn’t, I’m sure all the Oprah coverage brought it back to memory. Amazingly enough, Charla Nash survived the attack, although she is still healing and horribly disfigured. That’s a lot of damage. She’s also suing the ass off of Sandra …
Guide Dog Handlers All Ways Blog-A-Thon
I figured I’d start today off with a quick plug. Guide Dog Handlers All Ways, a group of Guide Dogs for the Blind alumni who also have secondary disabilities, is holding a blog-a-thon on November 14, 2009 to raise money for GDB. From 8 a.m. eastern to 8 p.m. eastern, members will be posting everything …
