Blinded By Bad Decisions: ODO 77 - a podcast by Adam Higgins

People make bad decisions all the time. The subjects of this week's esteemed news stories range from just being ignorant to getting literally blinded by poor decision making. On a completely unrelated note, it's pie time at home! Ok, it's because I decided to let my wife order 30 lbs of apples, so I guess it does relate to bad decision making. Going back to being blind, this week's "Recommended Listening" features at least one guy who is legally blind. It's Big D and Little R, from the Bro-Ron's Podcast.
