[Susan K.]

I am sighted but have read several books by the neurologist Oliver Sacks. He's a fascinating writer as well as an outstanding scientist and humanitarian. He says that those who have never had sight have differently-developed senses and may even find sight disconcerting if they gain it later in life (perspective baffles them - distances, the height and depth of steps, etc.). You might want to read his book on this subject (To See and Not See, 1995).

In my case, it's strickly household maintenance. Most of the Caucasian "lawn freaks" I know, including my husband to some extent, are men. If women have that tendency, they seem to become "garden freaks" - a variant. Those who have "desk jobs" seem to do it as a hobby at least as much as for maintenance. To a large extent, I think white people want their houses to "fit in" with the care level of their neighbors' houses. For example, if living in a neighborhood where everyone uses a lawn service, many Caucasians want their lawns to be always green, always trimmed and always weedless to avoid looking like dirtballs by comparison.
