Just the way it goes… you have a great machine in front of you…Â but your eyes moves on to other’s…
The ribbons always darker on another machine…
Shelf life of a Hermes 8…
One of the sheer joys of owning a Hermes 8 are the things you can put on its shelf. I find myself going to the Hermes just to place a picture on it that I can type to.
Every day an adventure.
My favorite bicycle riding song…
The Register’s Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa has taught me many things. One of which is the theme for a bicycle team called “Team Rawhide Riders” a fixture on the ride since 1982… they have special lyrics for the Rawhide theme and today as I rode my bike… the lyrics kept going in my head like wheels on the road… over and over again.
Gravel roads were fun…
I enjoy the type…
Each morning brings the sun… a bright ball of potential lightness and brightness to clear away the darkness and lift one’s spirit into the new day.
Learned today… that photo shop can turn the Green text blue for better reading.
The Empire types back…
Nothing like a good bargain:Â $9.99 for a 1951 Empire Aristocrat.
A foolish thing… Cap(ital) thoughts…
They use to say that politics was all about comprise. The same can be said for typewriters when they are out of alignment. If you work together you can get better results by going to one’s strengths. Something learned from a 1913 Royal 5. Just one way to get everyone on the same page.
Gee!
Gee Wiz(ard) one year of Type OH! (3/31/12-3/31/13)
After one year… I feel thankful. For all who have read and commented you made my year great and I am grateful. From my heart I thank you and wish for you all the best of times. Always.

Tennessee Typer…
Buy a typewriter and you may get interested in the people who used it.
Tennessee William’s work is so famous that shouting out “Stella!” will get a reaction. As well as saying: “I’ve always depending on the kindness of strangers”… even if you have never read his plays or gone to seen one. (Of course shouting out: “Bob” will get a reaction as well…)
