Thoughts – Page 20 – Type OH! The manual typewriter experience…

Moving forward… at a slower pace

When you consider that 2003 was the last commercial super-sonic flight… do we really miss it?

Remounted… Demountable…. excellent!

I needed to reverse the ribbon on my Demountable… which meant lifting up and taking off the frame; I moved something a fraction of a inch and the 87 year Demountable acts like a teenager… it is quick… has a light touch… wow!!!

Sax playing raisin or diploma?

As I downside my stuff… it crossed my mind in fifty years would someone want my High School diploma or my Sax Playing California Raisin? For now I’m keeping both… but I know which one I would want!

I like to push buttons…. not touch screens!

Sliding my fingers across a screen to move a page… just seems “icky”. Years of removing finger print smears from my eyeglasses… links fingers and glass not in a good way. My new E-reader has no buttons… its all touch… I miss the buttons.

Floating along the river of memory…

There are things you want to remember… but sometimes the best memories are those that come when you just drift through time… allowing the driftwood of your thoughts to go where they may!

Thoughts on greatness…

Someone is saying: “Help make America Great Again”…. You can restore a 1957 Chevy to its former glory; but would you want your teenager to drive it to school everyday? After all who needs seat belts… or disc breaks… things that don’t make a car great… just safer and better!
