After mailing off 115 letters to members of congress using my computer… I’ve gotten back 1 meaningful response. As a result I will switch to using my typewriter in the hopes that a “pitch” of civil interactions and debate will have more impact when the words were typed by a real human hand… (plus using a typewriter is more fun)!
I limit my watch wearing these days… I use to think I had to keep track of time all the time.
Watched the movie Mr. Peabody & Sherman… way back when I watched the cartoons. Typewriters are way-back machines…
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…
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.
Just passing time on my 1921 LC Smith and thinking of the 93 years it has been in use.
I want to not feel bad if I can’t meet my goals. I’m just not there yet. I guess I just set my goals to low; since I can meet them if I try hard enough. Perhaps if I had unrealistic expectations then it would not matter if I reach them. One day I will be mature enough to look at things that way… just not there yet.
It was jeep’s blues… the duke… Johnny Hodges… American Hustle… who would have thought it. It was “Live from Newport” (1956) for a movie set in 1978. I did get a little picky when they set the needle down on the record and Jeep’s Blues was the third song down on side B and not the first… but so what. It was the Duke…
I picked up the Smith Bros to have some fun… at 93 it leaps and plays with grace and ease. I also learned about assumptions. ..
