I have always thought that the Braille rules were made by frustrated old 
ladies who haven't had sex in thirty years or more.
Who else would make up the arcane rules we live with.
I am glad that I make most of my own Braille, but I hope all of the lovely 
books we can still get, won't be thrown out and replaced with some universal 
code that will be unreadable universally.
I even struggle with British Braille.  I keep looking for the capitol 
letters.
When I was in school, we still had books produced by the WPA.  Now imagine 
that, history under your fingers.  Those books were 40 years old, made 
before the Perkiness, and made by people who would have been abandoning 
their families and living as Hobo's, if not for President Roosevelt's 
programs and the new deal.
I wonder if any of those books are still around?
