Butch, Buddy and Kollin are much more knowledgeable on this than am I,
but it seems to me I've read of someone or someones with sight
challenges who've been able to use, although to what extent I'm not

although I may have dreamed that, and if so, it's one of many night
mayers needing city councils which are floating around.  Best to you
Sir, Danny.
