the blind leading the deaf

Approached a geezelle downtown, a pleasant looking woman dressed in Flagstaff attire, who doesn't see well if at all and moves around with the aid of a white cane (I had seen her around but never spoken) and said good morning. "Good morning," she said. "A very pleasant day" I said. "- - - - - -," she said. "What?" I asked. "GLAD THAT WIND HAS SLOWED DOWN!" she said pleasantly and loudly, evidently picking up that I am somewhat hard of hearing. I agreed and moved on with a blessing upon her day. How good it is that we take each other's peculiarities and shortcomings into account! Patience with each other is a strong and welcome virtue.
