I signed my Hermes 8 typewriter. Took its picture… then decided it had more value without the signature. So I removed it….

Old TV shows… and older typewriters
Was watching a 52 year old tv show while typing on a 98 year old typewriter… and thinking about how old I was when the cars on the street I lived on all looked liked the ones in that show.
A character type…
Who we are when no one watches… or when the rubber meets the road defines character.
A type a day… makes my day complete.
The Smith Premier 10 is fun… you just type the size that matches the top of the key. No shifting needed.
Small adjustments… big gains
I raised the height on the Demountable 1/2 inch (by adjusting the feet) and for the 1st time I used the spacebar on a entire page without issue.
Some days… take longer than others…
I typed a line… then three days later I finished. The 106 year old LC Smith waited… without complaint.   A computer would have been asking to update something after 3 days…
Snapshots… bring back time.
Patience is a trait… that some people have. As a child I did not know what it was (I had none) as an adult I treasure those with it… like some treasure gold.

Typewriters… calm the soul.
As I type on this 1927 Smith Premier 30 the world seems nicer and my mood improves. Even as it stalls and stops… I relax and smile. I’ve got my typewriter fix and I feel good.
Returning to norm…
