The performer is a magician named Cyril Takeyama-- he's actually pretty talented and has a lot of clips on youtube. Look up his awesome Lacoste trick!

Unfortunately I think that we can't have silent cars. I know two blind people and both have actually gone to Washington D.C. to plead with Congress to institute mandatory noise levels of cars. One has a dog (so he can actually avoid cars) but the other has minimal (as in VERY minimal) eye use and can detect shapes so a dog is unnecessary. He must rely on the sound of a car to avoid it. As much as I would like a silent highway system (just imagine!), I think that a semi-silent highway would be better than what it is now.

My god... what kind of person could watch a pair of their own black labradors bleeding to death in front of them while tied up and not be scarred for life. I'll tell you what kind... no kind.

Jeez, how can you justify this?

This is late, and I just received a confirmation email! I'll be reviewing the book for my school paper.
