My Underwood has its Western Union serial number WU5739R and I checked the number under the foot is 205320. I guessed 1909 based on design, but the serial number places it at 1908. For me 1908 is a great year for an Underwood.
Spring is a month away… but the weather has been warm enough think winter’s day is done. As much as I enjoy the cool but warm day… it seems to early to see flowers and trees with green leaves. I will go with the flow and hope the summer does not continue this trend of heat and just enjoy the nice of nice days and nights.
Remember Harry S. Truman, he had a sign on his desk: “The Buck Stops here!” meaning that responsibility came to its resting place at his desk. It would not be passed on to someone else or another department. I miss that type of thinking. I looked at what I typed and I alone am the blame for its content, not the way of the world… not the media… its all GEE!
Been reading lately that the least tolerant people are those who keep asking for tolerance by others. I must be missing something… if someone is intolerant who believes claims that they are virtues of tolerance. I accept the fact that not everyone loves typewriters. Some prefer to use computers, I tolerate this odd behavior.
I love snowflakes, watching them fall… looking at the designs close up… a wonder of the wonderful world. They fall as separate things, group together and we roll them into Snowmen, or pack them into snowballs, make forts and have such fun… love snowflakes. Then I learned it means something else…
