[El Gordo]

Reminds me of a story my Dad used to tell - he was marine surveyor, and did the mandatory annual inspections on fishing boats in our borough required for the renewal of their fishing permit. On visiting one fishing boat he couldn't find the owner, who had promised he would be on board at the allotted time. He eventually found him in the engine room, alone and in complete darkness, disassembling the engine for its regular overhaul. A blind fisherman/boat owner/mechanic. It's remarkable what sight-challenged people can do.

And THAT story led me to recall this one -- http://runningcommentary.net/?p=1005942
