Once you needed focus just to watch TV… no tape; no disc; no stream to rewind and play a section over. No internet to review the show on… just your one shot as it played (and perhaps months later a re-run)… I was watching “Empire” and found myself reaching for the remote before I remembered it was playing real time. Back in the day… I would give my complete attention to a show; now I can count on instant replay in some form or another.
How else would one reach 750 posts without calling on Western Union… really love this typewriter… just got to get out of the habit of using the shift keys!
I hear folks are upset about the new Muppet show… questions about how to explain the relationship between a frog and a pig… a question I am sure was big on our minds in the 70’s! Or back to the 60’s… that moose and squirrel, or that dog Peabody and his “boy” Sherman… as a kid I did not care! I only wanted to laugh… How did we become so serious!
Today TypeOH! received its 1 millionth hit…  I did not expect to reach it today but did. In fact I did not expect to reach one million ever! Yet I have… using a 107 year old Underwood with a backspace lever!
The counter I added 3 years ago showed 1,000,169 when I looked this morning.
Been in the mood to type on my Underwood’s… for better or worse my fingers feel right on the keys of an Underwood 5!
As I listen to well educated/wealthy people run for President of the United States, I start to think logic is not a requirement to be taken seriously. But then I want a piece of the action… when the action should be about peace!
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!
Sometimes you just take in the day for what it is… and it is good!
With temps in the nineties… I noticed I drank a gallon of water in the time it took me to go 25 miles.
I use to play “one on one” baseball with my older brother…. the problem with the sport is people forgot all you need to play is something to toss and something to hit it with… you do not need gloves (hands work, hats)… you do not need a bat (sticks, pipes work)… you do not need special shoes (or shoes at all) and a baseball (heck… if it could be thrown… someone would swing at it).
