Hi, All.  I've got a question for you.  I've been legally blind as far
back as I can remember, so when I heard the term, "blink", I thought it
was a good label for me, so I adopted it.  However, I'm not totally
blind, and since I heard the term, "wink", I'm wondering which I be.  Be
I blink, or be I wink?  It doesn't matter, really; I still can't see
worth a plug nickel, but I want to get the terminology right.  <GRIN!>
Anybody got a definition for "wink"?

Hope everybody had a nice bunch o' holidaze, and that y'all have one
bodacious year to come!

     Tom

Tom,
     You are then, by the powers vested in me by myself, officially a
Blink!

Yeah, a Wink is anyone who ain't a Blink!

You're a blink.  A wink is a completely sighted person.
At least, thats how I see it.
