Chris when the police arrive...
Officers Dangle and Jones are standing over a crying Terry sitting on the grass in short shorts, roller skates, headband, and tiny shirt. The text on the image says "I was murdered". It is a meme from Reno 9 1 1.

Got to do the thing I have been looking forward to doing since finding out I was going to be an uncle. I got to take him to Disneyland last weekend!

Photo of myself and my nephew standing in front of Mater from Cars. We are in Cars Land in Disney California Adventure.. I have a beanie, sunglasses, and beard on my head. A black hoodie and blue jeans with black reeboks. My nephew is wearing a blue hoodie, hat, and glasses. He also has on headphones to cut down on the noise. Also has a stretchy worm toy sticking out of his mouth.

From left to right: Sarah Val Max Caitlin Myself (sorry, can't tell who is next to me. Stupid eyes) Chantell bottom right last two photos This following alt text is not by me. The image is a photo booth collage with four separate pictures featuring a group of people in front of a floral backdrop. Each photo shows the individuals wearing various props like hats, crowns, and holding signs and novelty items, creating a playful and festive atmosphere. The background is a pattern of large pink and white flowers. The collage is set on a wooden plank background with decorative chandeliers and string lights at the top. At the bottom, the names "Lauren & Kyle" along with the date "03.30.2025" are written in white decorative script in front of each photo pair. Lauren and I. First photo of 3. Lauren looking loke an angel smiling and throwing up a peace sign. Me in my suit looking dapper and throwing up a peace sign in one hand and holding my white cane in the other. Lauren and I. Second photo of 3. Lauren in her beautiful wedding gown with a plunging neckline. Myself still in a suit. This photo made us laugh so much. We thought they took the photo so we are in the middle of trying to figure out what to do next. Then the camera flashed and you have us looking confused. Lauren and I. last photo of 3. Lauren and I wearing goofy hats. Still in her wedding dress and shockingly still in my suit. We have an arm wrapped each other and are smiling. I truly love this woman and I am so proud of her. The both of them have gone through hell and back to find each other. Congrats you two.

Meeting up with friends I haven't seen in YEARS.
#LaurenAndKylesWedding #VisuallyImpaired#Blind #WhiteCane ♿
Jeremy on the right and myself on the left. I am wearing a black suit jacket, black vest, and black slacks. White collared shirt with black buttons. To tie it all together I have a matching purple tie and pocket square. I am also holding my white cane in my right hand. Hopefully I am looking at the camera. Jeremy is quite a bit taller than I am. We both have beards and shaved bald heads. Mone is a little more cleaned up but more gray than his. Jeremy is wearing glasses, a dark plaid shirt and is holding a beer. It is alwaus so great to see this guy. It's Susan and myself. Susan looking gorgeous as ever in purple dress that has poofy bits at the shoulders. We are both hugging each other tight and smiling. I am a bit taller than Susan I am wearing the same suit as described before. Black suit jacket, pants, and vest. White shirt with black buttons. I am matching with my purple tie, pocket square, and Apple Watch band. Definitely need to make plans to come down to visit her and her husband soon. Val looking amazing as ever in a lovely purple dress and black swrater. She has beautiful curly dark hair and a wonderful smile. I am wearing the same as I have been. I have missed this lady so much. She moved across the country years ago and this is the first time I have seen her since. Another person I need to make plans with to visit.

More photos from Kyle and Lauren's wedding.
I think we all want someone that looks at us they way Kyle looks at Lauren.

Lauren wearing a ecstatic look on her face. She is beaming. Her white wedding dress fits her perfectly and is flowing behind her. Kyle is looking amazing in his purple themed suit. I have never seen any look at someone with this much love in their eyes. They are walking down the aisle as a newly married couple. A bunch of friends and family are in attendance on either side cheering them on as they pass by. There are a bunch of rows of folding chairs o manicured green grass. There is a wooden fence surrounding the outdoor wedding venue. It is cloudy out but bright and beautiful. Lauren and Kyle on the dance floor. Lauren still looking forgeous with her blonde hair expertly done. The white dress looking spectacular. Her right hand is holding onto Kyle's elbow while he has his hand around her waist. They are looking at each other so sweetly. Kyle's long brown hair is hanging past his shoulders and down his suit jacket. There are two other people dancing behind them. We are in a reception hall and it looks to me that there is a purplish hue to a part of the room on the left. The floor is shiny and there is light coming in from the windows and doors. These two deserve each other so much. They are such wonderful humans.

Got to see two of my favorite people get married this weekend. After the funeral on Friday it was great to reunite with friends I haven't seen in forever.
Here are a bunch of photos with #AltText.

Lauren looking absolutely stunning in a white wedding dress and her beautiful mom in a purple dress. Her mom is walking her down the aisle. We are outside and the sky is a cloudy at the moment but perfect temp for a late march day in San Marcos. They are passing the opening between a nice brown wooden fence. Kyle walking down the aisle with his mother Pam. Kyle has long brown hair, a beard, a purple suit, and the kindest eyes. It looks like I took this at about the same spot as Laurenb and her mom in the previous photo so I will repeat, We are outside and the sky is a cloudy at the moment but perfect temp for a late march day in San Marcos. They are passing the opening between a nice brown wooden fence.

After this little journey I have more confidence that it is possible to take a trip out of state on my own. But not anytime soon.
Fuck yeah for independence and these wins. I needed this.
First thread. Hope it was okay

Description Mostly Image Accessibility Creator from Arizona State University *Too much detail for me to try to figure out* The image displays a street scene taken from downtown Los Angeles, featuring modern skyscrapers under a clear blue sky. In the foreground, a crosswalk is visible across the street, with white diagonal lines on the asphalt. To the left, a tall building with reflective windows reflects nearby structures. In the background, a cluster of skyscrapers of varying designs and heights rises prominently against the blue sky. On the right side, one of the buildings has a unique, narrow, and pointed design at the top. *I think that is describing the iconic US Bank Building. Several leafy trees line the street, and traffic lights hang above the intersection. Vehicles and pedestrians are present on the street, with visible street signs. Description Mostly Image Accessibility Creator from Arizona State University *Too much detail for me to try to figure out* The image shows a street scene in Downtown Los Angeles featuring a graffiti artwork on a light-colored wall. The graffiti consists of large, bold, bubble-style letters primarily in yellow and red with black outlines. The letters are intertwined, and while not entirely legible, they exhibit a vibrant style characteristic of urban graffiti. Above the graffiti are a series of posters featuring an illustrated person. These posters are lined up in a row, repeating the same image. The area near the ground shows a worn, concrete sidewalk. Description Mostly Image Accessibility Creator from Arizona State University *Too much detail for me to try to figure out* The image shows the interior of Union Station in Downtown Los Angeles from where I am waiting for my train home. The focus is on a spacious hall with large, vertical windows lining the rear wall, allowing natural light to stream in. Two decorative wreaths hang on the windows, adding an element of festivity. The ceiling is high, adorned with intricate geometric designs in warm tones. Two large, ornate chandeliers hang from the ceiling, complementing the decorative ceiling panels. The floor consists of polished red tiles that reflect the light. In the foreground, a wooden stand is visible on the floor. Towards the middle of the hall, a person is seen walking, engrossed in their phone, casting a long shadow due to the incoming light. In the background are display cases and a folding sign with framed information.

What a self-esteem booster this was for me. I navigated fucking Los Angeles on my own (*with help from apps. Ask if you want to know which.). My #blind ass walked over 9 miles without issue. People were great (*one lady flirted w/ me!😊), I felt safe, and transit was easy enough...
Description Mostly ChatGPT *Too much detail for me to try to figure out* First thing I saw once I walked up the stairs. A street-level view of downtown Los Angeles near the Pershing Square Metro station. The photo features historic buildings with intricate facades and fire escapes on the left, set against a clear blue sky. On the right, part of a modern canopy structure is visible near the station entrance. Two LAPD vehicles are parked along the red curb, and police officers are interacting with a few individuals on the sidewalk. The scene captures a mix of urban architecture, public transit infrastructure, and police presence.

I have a hard time saying this usually but I am pretty fucking proud of myself. I had the day off so I tested & challenged my independence by taking the train to Downtown LA from OC & spent a few hours wandering on my own. 1st time solo there since my #VisualDisability...
Description Mostly ChatGPT *Too much detail for me to try to figure out* This photo shows a detailed interior shot of Union Station in Los Angeles. The ceiling features intricate, colorful geometric designs, accented by ornate chandeliers hanging symmetrically. In the foreground, Bob is present, wearing a gray head wrap and a beard, with a neutral expression. Behind him, holiday decorations, including a Christmas tree, are visible, enhancing the warm and festive atmosphere. The seating area in the background has a classic vintage style with rows of wooden benches. * My commentary Not ChatGPT: I absolutely love this place. Even though my vision is Very LOW I can still get a sense of the scope and the detail. It probably looks familiar if you have seen a movie or tv show at some point. Description from ChatGPT *Too much detail for me to try to figure out* This photo shows a subway platform in Los Angeles. The left side features tiled flooring leading to stairs and escalators, while the right side shows the train tracks with a safety strip marked by yellow and textured white tiles. Overhead signs indicate directions, including "To North Hollywood" and "To Wilshire/Western." The station is well-lit with fluorescent lights, and a few passengers can be seen waiting in the distance near colorful advertisements on the wall. The overall atmosphere is clean and orderly.

I was resilient at first but I wish I started with a cane earlier. Would recommend you look into it. For myself, it was a confidence booster. No shuffling, no explaining that I can't see, a lot less trips/stumbles. Basically made me feel so much less like Mister MaGoo.
Drawing of the cartoon character, Mister MaGoo. He is leaning on a walking cane and raising his hat with other hand. He is wearing a brown coar with a black collar, brown pants .He has black shoes on. The background is yellow. When I lost my vision I was worried people were going to call me MaGoo since that is the way I felt.

According to my watch I walked 13.5 mi this weekend. Mostly of it at Disneyland both mornings. Not too bad for a guy that can barely see. I did NOT:

👉🏼 get shoulder checked
👉🏼 trip/run into chains/rope
👉🏼 have to deal with lines.

It's me! Be nice. Photo taken at Disneyland California Adventure on Buena Vista St. I am standing in front of the large christmas tree. I am wearing a white beanie, a white jacket with black around the bottom of the sleeves and collar, a black tee shirt, dark slim jeans, and I am holding my white cane in my left hand. The cast member has me posed looking away from the camera like I am too good to even be here. I have a beard like most white dudes my age. Best for everyone to not see meclean shaven. Trust me. Hope I did not miss anything that should be described. Say hi if you ever run into me at the parks. Photo of the Matterhorn on Sunday morning from the Alice in Wonderland attraction. The mountain is in tre middle of the photo reaching to the top of the image. There are trees all around the base of the faux snow covered peak. I am guessing the monorail track is visible. The sky is white and the sun is not fully up yet. I believe the photo is taken facing East. The Matterhorn is one of the few rides that I will not do. Too bumpy and I hate being startled by that fucking monster.
