You spot it, You got i!

I whined! I whined! I am patience-challenged by whiners, and I have to go and whine.

Ahem, please accept my sincere apology and I commit that I will not whine again, only wine from now on.

P.S. and totally off-topic- Why do drive-up ATM's have Braille instructions?

I hear that some blind folks have drivers. I wouldn't know about that, meself, but I would imagine that Helen Keller, fa instance, would have been wealthy enough to afford someone to ferry her around.

I can't tell you how many times I've asked myself that.

Though the braille could come in handy for the rest of us, too... how many times have you been standing at a walk-up ATM, and the sun is directly behind you, and you can't see the screen or the keys due to the glare? So if we could all read braille, we might actually be able to punch in our PIN correctly on the first try!

Absolutely, Flaca (my new name for you-said lovingly, like Gordo). When Madfish did my template set-up, he didn't know your importance, so I have fixed it and my grammatica de espanol (how do I do the tilde again?).

R and I were driving through a drive-through ATM and I saw the Braille and wondered why it was there, but as astute Nee and Emma have pointed out, there is a purpose. It jsut struck us as funny at the time.

I have heard a sign of bad acne is when a blind person tries to read your face. :P

O.K. R deserves credit here- I forgot that it was he who pointed out the Braille. He gave voice to a thought I have had for years- and he gets the kudos for saying it aloud :)

Love you, baby!

I have wondered why public restrooms have braille on the doors.
