I have an acquaintance who is legally blind - but, he can see large shapes with
high contrast. I once printed him a 2500 sheet case of 11" X 17" paper with
music staffs (one measure per page) so he could read piano music rather than
playing by ear. He must have kept a page turner very busy.  Bv)=  Like almost
all of the people I know he's more than half-a-bubble out of plumb with the
world.

           Pastry for a two crust pie

  begins to bubble through slits in crust.
