Journeys through time ...

After the holiday, it was easy to write the correct date on a check to Publix. The calendar on my check register is light blue print on a white background. The print is close to minuscule. My eyes are close to not being able to make out the numbers when in a hurry. The holiday, numbered as it is, makes a convenient reference.

I think, as the boomers follow me through time, small blue print on a white background will be encountered less frequently. Also a block of gray print on a yellow background, which some printers just love to use for emphasis.

Consider the changing demographic ... and adapt.

How about miniscule black on white that even the giant-size handy dandy magnifying glass won't enlarge to readable size. We have this floor to ceiling county map hanging at the office and inside the city limits even the eagle eyed Lieutenant can't make out the print. Makes me feel much better. MUCH BETTER.

When the print looks like organized ants, marching across the page, I assume it is blurred and defective.

You are looking at a map with defective print, no? Must be!

It doesn't even resemble the ants. Now if they stepped into black paint and marched across and left tiny black ant-footprints, we'd be in the right area . . . step . . . step . . .

The ants may be just punctuating: period ... period ... period in lockstep. A stubbed toe is a comma?

LOL. As bank employees, we would enlarge the photo-copy area of the map we wanted to read when we were processing home loan mortgages. The auditors liked to see each section photo-copied for their reading pleasure in larger print.
