The theme from the movie “Mash” has lyrics… lyrics that are silly and sad. Love the melody but try having a conversation about its lyrics and not have it be weird.
1959 Hermes 2000

Ah! The Hermes 2000! I love the spacing of the keys and the light, precise sound of this machine. Just the quiet, measured ticking of the platen as you feed in another sheet inspires me to write more, and the smooth action of the carriage return reinforces that idea. I even like the styling of the 2000 more than its better-known sibling, the Hermes 3000 (regardless of version). Mine is the same light green color, too. I saw and almost bid on a black one not too long ago, but my green one works so beautifully, I decided to save my money.

I like the 2000 better than the 3000. Not only is it cheaper, but easier to use.
Beautiful flowers and a Hermes 2000 too!

One of the advantages of being on a bicycle is you see a lot of beautiful things. In a car you are moving too fast.
