Blind Roasted Coffee
Recently, I was walking along in Boulder, Colorado. I found an interesting coffee shop. It’s run by a blind person!
It’s great to hear about the blind overcoming the obstacles they face, but this is the first retail blind entrepreneur I’ve ever heard of. It seems that a little practice and a keen sense of smell can make for some very good coffee. I wonder what manufacturing jobs are blind-friendly…

This is great news! I collected my first pair of eyeglasses today (and several more pairs) by just asking for them on the pedestrian mall in Boulder. It’s good stuff. One set will go to someone who has really bad vision and would be far beyond the limit for legal blindness, so that means I might have created one job too :)
It feels good.

In good news, we successfully launched our US English Lens Lady website! We’re starting with a relatively small site size, just trying to get the word out about recycling eyeglasses and new contacts. We plan to expand it later, especially for international people.
