When I arrived in China and started walking around, I noticed this pattern on all the sidewalks. You will find this all over Shanghai. As you can see in this picture there are generally bike paths (the paved area) next to the sidewalks. Many times, if you are walking next to someone on the sidewalk, I would find myself walking on this pattern which is actually kind of uncomfortable. As it turns out, this pattern is used to help blind people in China maneuver around. It is almost like a Braille on the sidewalk. It acts as their guide for position on the sidewalk. We could definitely learn from the Chinese on this one. What an excellent idea!!!

Brilliant idea for sidewalks. Very interesting. Well our league is being pushed back a week due to weather. One more week for you to play. It is going to be in the 40's and showers. Me and Lebow might go out this afternoon. 58 and sunny. Tigers beat KC 12 to 2 I believe. It was a rout. Hope you figured out that washing machine. See ya, BW
Wow, what a great idea. Well, All is good here, Not much to talk about. I got to sleep in the back a caviler for about 5 or 6 hours, which was really nice... In a payless parking lot no less. The Raccoon was fun ^.^

Interesting idea with the sidewalks. Who'da thunk?
Are you really working? Seems like you are 'here-there-and-everywhere', but I never see a desk in any of the pics. I think you've played out the April Fool's joke long enough. Ha, ha........
Great Idea! Your pictures are turning out really great dad! What new exciting things have you been up too?
