I waited till my spouse got home before posting again. As it happens, she is blind and does not use a guide dog. Every intersection is potential injury or death. It has never occurred to me to want to keep electronic tabs on her. Nor, she informs me has she ever wanted to keep electronic tabs on me. I do not text her when I get to work nor does she text me. The assumption is always that the trip was without incident. I cannot see a downside to this kind of optimism. Most days one or the other of us will call the other just to say hi. Sometimes not. My sweetie bought me my first hi-viz soft shell and I wore it so much I got another identical one. She got me my second MagicShine. I now have three of them. I rarely use all three at once, but I need a lot of light at night, and in the rain at night I do indeed use all three. In the eight years we've been together I've been down hard twice. Neither involved a car or pedestrian. #1 was a storm drain, and #2 was a ride off the road edge at night. The second MagicShine was a response to the 2nd road incident. If the worst happened she would find out eventually. I think if we were intended to know within 10 minutes everything that happened to our partners then we would become telepathically linked to whomever we had sex with. I am assuming that it is intended for humans to have essential privacy upon becoming adult. FWIW.
