Starting to feel like I did when I wrote plays…. 40 years ago. Back when I lugged my father’s Underwood around a college campus to type away… I’ve had my moments writing for the spoken voice…

Started out typing in all “lower caps” then switched to ALL CAPS… I thought I would just relax and do nothing… but nothing takes some effort.
Just should have gone with the flow and not tried to make my day “easy”. That would have been easier… and without trying I would have had my “low-key day”.
Sometimes the seller discribes the item correctly. The price seems low for what is shown. Then you get what you pay for. All the issues are non-issues and perhaps self-invented to explain away the “great deal”. Sometimes… a typewriter in great condition at a superlow price is just that. A typewriter in great condition at a super low price. And once adjusted the ribbon turned out to be in great shape (the only thing about the typewriter that turned out to be not as described).
Sometimes you get what you paid for and you get more than you expected. Perhaps the $2.25 dollar price was less than the seller was expecting… so they packed it based on worth. 4 paper napkins. I feel great gratitude to the USPS for the delivery of this machine in a manner that allowed it to arrive in a still working condition. Any poor handling at all and this machine would have been in pieces… and not functional in any way. Great JOB U.S. Post Office. Thank you!! to all those who took care with this package that was not even marked fragile… it arrived working (what more could anyone ask).
I recall “Labor Day” and staying up to all hours to watch Jerry Lewis and the MDA fund raiser… they have gone seperate ways.  The show is down to 3 hours (I miss the longer version). Still it good that I have linked this time of year to giving and supporting of others.
