It has always facinated me as to the locations of braile signage, like on hotel room doors, elevator doors, bathroom doors yet the placards in the seat pocket in front of you giving you instructions as to what you should do in the event of a crash - no braille sign. I have yet to see a stewardess (flight attendent to be polictcial correct) give instructions on how to put on your life vest by signing! Of course, inthe State of Alaska you can buy a "Blind Hunting and Fishing License" but it looks like any other license and I am not rteal sure I want to be inthe field knowing that someone is running around with a blind hunting license! After looking at the word verificvation that I have to de-code, why can't these letters be typical letters as you see here instead of letters where the j looks like a g of a I looks like a L? I find myself spell checking the letters more carefully that I do my posting. Maybe they should be in braile! As I expected, I missed one, now I havce to discipher a whole new set, this time in lower case and thar little "r" looks an awful like a "V", I will take a chance and call it a "r"

You could be right about "verification". Maybe - if the "machine" can make it at random - why can't a "machine" read it?(point to all the twisted lettering - not to frustrate our elders who grew up knowing a processor as a ship or cannery) I don't think they make walkers with word verification, yet, but you better get in practice!

If you feel the incessant urge,
and your tongue is sharp and quick,
leave a worthless thought for me
whether cool, or fun, or sick.
