Doc Childre and Howard Martin
Day two with new hearing-aids.
When I departed the parking garage yesterday I noticed this little bell dinging to let pedestrians and bicyclists on the sidewalk near the exit know that a car was about to emerge from the opening. I thought that was pretty cool and a good safety feature.
When I arrived this morning I mentioned it to the the valet guys and asked when had they installed that new feature. With a straight face the young kid looked right at me and said" About seven years ago, sir."
It is like a new adventure every day - in stereo. Now I find myself asking people to tone it down and speak more quietly. Still, it is better than "Say again?" I also find that I hear more than I need to know.
