Just noticed braille on the signs marking the entrance to laboratories around here. Can you seriously imagine a blind person working in an analytical laboratory?

As you begin to look around you, you will be amazed at the odd places where braille lettering has been placed. Have you ever seen a blind person randomly feeling walls for a door and then feeling all over the door for a braille sign? Here’s a case where oral communication certainly seems to be the method of choice. “Excuse me, could you show me where the bathroom is located?” seems a quite reasonable question.
I recall my dad wondering about the wisdom of braille lettering on a drive-through ATM… consider the implications of that! The ADA regulators need a reality check.
