[Boatanchors] Ranger/SB-10 and crystals

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Rod, old friend, please consider this as an official protest. After 
contemplating your blatent discrimination against a blind person, a clear 
violation of the federal mandates as set forth by the ADA (Americans with 
Disabilities Act) by ignoring my response to you in grade two Braille. I 
could not respond by electronic mail, as the power company burped and opened 
a relay at the sub-station one half mile to my north. AKA a power failure. 
So I immediately used the vintage 1965 Perkins Braille Writer, not a Braille 
typewriter, as no such invention has ever been invented, and sent a note to 
you by overnight Pigeon. You apparently ignored my dots that I had so 
quickly dashed to express my interest to you. This resulted in the 
displacement of my sequential numerology which resulted in my name being 
assigned a position two inches below the last name at the end of the 
"Interested Party" list!

I would have just picked up the bright red hot line here in my 
den/office/computer control center and rung your chimes, but with no power, 
I could not "look" up your landline in my binary based phone book!

I forgive you Rod and you need not worry about a team of fifty U.S. attorney 
wouldliketobees underlings that work for the Attorney General using a 
military surplus Bulldozer left over from the original TVA project to open 
your front door. (A little known fact that this is the root source for the 
phrase "crashing a party") I hold no ill will against you Rod, even though 
you did dit my dah's!

Remember Rod, the next time you receive a message with raised dots, please 
do not refer to it as recycled paper with zits! For as you age and your 
vision dims, your fingers will see through paper thin,  feet feel the path 
warmed by morning's sun, while ears listen to see if foe or fun. Those dots 
can talk and wisdom speak, so touch them light as darkness creeps! Braille 
is a tongue whose sounds you feel, so touch your day and fears reveal. Some 
dots say dah and others dit, both codes you read to light commit.

So Rod, let your fingers do the walking, your mouth do the talking and your 
wallet buy me lunch!
