Nice read. Thanks.


Mt Vernon is so nice. I like to go up Chuckanut Drive and hit Taylors Oyster Farm for some fresh seafood.


Have a safe drive home.

Are you able to drive?


and, why use 7pt type? Isn't that hard to read for yourself, let alone the other person? lol



Yes, I'm a licensed driver.



Are you completely deaf? How do you deal with sirens and such?



While my hearing doesn't work, my eyes do you know the sirens do have red / blue / white lights, right??



Yeah, but a lot of the time if you're at a light and one comes, you can't see the vehicle until its in the intersection, especially if it's going east/west and youre headed north/south. And apparently, even with the sound people don't recognize they need to stop

Thanks for sharing.


Years ago, my mom's assistant at work was a deaf lady. She could lipread really well and even hold conversations, but it was difficult to understand her. My mom had no problem because she was around her every day, but I had a hard time the few times I met her. Do you find that people have a difficult time understanding you? If so, is it frustrating?

Deaf people just have to be more visually aware of their surroundings when they are driving.


I bet they see the ambulance coming before a lot of people hear/see it, seeing as how so many drivers are distracted on the road with screaming kids in the backseat, cell phone stuck to their head, loud music thumping out of their trunk, etc.

Well, hmmm 2001!! Wow, well you're in for some changes. LOTS of growth, more people, more houses, and lots of migrant and permanent farm workers (more racial violence associated with the hispanic community).


BUT now Mt Vernon/Burlington has a huge Costco with gas pumps, the factory outlet stores are run down, and I think there is a new Wal-Mart It's been awhile since I drove up there.
