Thoughts on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day
Dr. King used words well and to great effect. Today words are picked apart and little leeway is given to intent and words used.

But then I recall… to be understood you must first speak or be forever misunderstood.
2018 starts with a NOS FACIT 1740
Kentucky Typer had a new old stock (1984) FACIT 1740 for sale. I was looking for a typewriter to do the bulk of my letters to Congress on and the FACIT fit the bill. (The paperwork showed it was tested January 8, 1984 so I use that date).
