On my way home from school yesterday I stopped at the hardware store to pick up a couple of parts I needed to make the robot seeing eye dog's neck more flexible. This morning at the Birch Street Nursing Home I wanted to spend a little time with the patients before getting back to work on the dog, so I joined them for some poker. Mrs. Kunkle was on fire, and wiped me out in the first two hands of the day. All of the money I had left over from my trip to the hardware store was gone. But it was just as well, since I had a lot of work to do on the dog. It ended up being the most successful day I've had since I began this project. The dog's head is able to swivel all the way around, so it will be able to detect obstacles in every direction, keeping Mr. Pearlman safe.
