Notice the second sentance: 'peeks out the back door'. Later the article states she is blind.

From the article: She can see only light and shadows and is used to sliding her hand across the big fish tank to let her know when she’s reached the living room. And she knows how many turns to take from her bedroom to the kitchen.

hehehe

Though I know of legally blind folks who “peek out,” it is a humorous line.

How does a blind woman “peek” out the door and “see” an accident coming? She waves her hands and feels bad vibes?
D’OH!

Frankly, maybe after say accident number SIX - I’d move. Expecting accident, say SEVEN- doesn’t make her a psychic! LOL!

It’s almost like her house has this HUGE electro-magnet that she accidentally turns on periodically...

It’s a rather sad situation.

But the irony of her dogs being named “Lucky” and “Zappa” does bring a little humor to the story.

Her big mistake was naming her late, mashed Peke, "Zappa".

Here's what struck me ... the description of what sounds like shoddy repairs. Are the insurance companies and / or the contractors taking advantage of a blind woman who cannot judge the quality of their work? Sounds like a good follow-up story for the consumer guy or gal at one of the Tampa stations. Maybe Schnitt can help.

Call out to the Tampa St. Pete FReeper community.

Well at least they didn’t call it a blind alley.

I would have moved after the 6th time.
