Typical of Blogger. The link was placed under the first section of the typecast. However Blogger with its usual crap placed in mid-page even though it was correct in the preview. Rearranging things after a post with Blogger is sucky at best so the link remains out of place.
Blogger is free and I appreciate that, but it would be nice if it worked. I have other sites and thought about moving this blog to my radio site. It takes so long to build a typecast on Blogger that I generally do not want to use even more time to migrate my blog to my radio site. One day that may happen. For now the blog will stay on Blogger.
I'm glad that Shady Characters is out! I have enjoyed Houston's blog and his research deserves to be in print.
ReplyDeleteI think you had something on your blog that led me to Keith's blog. I thought with such a nice blog the book should be quite interesting. So far it is interesting and very easy reading.
DeleteThanks for the update. I always like to read fountain pen and ink reviews, although I most likely will not buy another new pen.
ReplyDeleteGetting political is okay as long as you're polite and explain your self, and try not to offend other's feelings. I try to avoid such things on my blog, but once in a while things get crazy enough so as to warrant a comment.
With me it was almost when ever I started a typecast. I don't outline (it probably shows). I generally type whatever I think about. For quite a while it was commentary on something in D.C. I did not like so I would not post anything since my subject drifted from typewriters to politics.
DeleteThe interrobang...I love it. Like you, I'm always looking for good pens and good notebooks.
ReplyDeleteMy interrobang at the end did not work as I intended. It did not print as clear as I thought it would.
DeleteNice switchblade, Bill. And nice handwriting. Despite all the coffee. I'm about to sit down to transcribe various notes from various notebooks into something a little more orderly. Gotta get into the habit of doing this at the end of the day instead of letting it build up into a mess of half-filled notebooks in every jacket that I have.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately when I created the post I found the front view and open view files were corrupt. I was too lazy (besides the post was taking way too long) to retake and edit the photos.
DeleteNice little pad. I love the shaped corners. That said, Target you say?!
ReplyDeleteIncidentally, switchblades were outlawed in Australia in the 80's and have unfortunately never come back :(
In Pennsylvania I could have one as a collector as long as my collection was registered. In Virginia the law is real confusing since it is not illegal to have one. It is illegal to sell or use or carry one. However if a person has one it is considered that they have it to sell. Therefore it is not worth the problems to have one in either of those places. Problem I see is that if I were a criminal I could kill someone just as dead with any knife that is legal in those states. Besides criminals do not care if they have something legal or not -- that is why they are criminals.
Delete@teeritz, I'm sorry I did not respond to you complement on my handwriting.
Thank you. I do write neater before a couple of cups of coffee though.
I think patience is a necessity with blogger Bill :) I find it ironic that the laws about knives are so strict and yet guns are so readily available.. what's that all about?? Gosh those two words 'Parker Quink' brought back a few memories. We have a camera market here every four months that you would just love..I bought a 1912 pocket camera there a few years ago, managed to find a film for it and actually took some photo's, was great fun ..oh how things have changed :)
ReplyDeleteBoth guns and knives are protected by the second amendment to the Constitution. Firearms fall under Federal Statue and others under individual States.
DeleteIronically in Pennsylvania it used to be legal to have a fully automatic weapon as long as you had a Federal Firearms License. No switchblades though, only a machine gun.
When does an apple corer or wood whittler become a weapon? I think expressing your political views is OK. I do, when I feel like it. But I think you'd have to want to do it, and without reservation or apology. I remember verbally wrestling with an old pal. "Have an opinion!" We'd be shouting, "...and then express it." Otherwise, what's language for?
ReplyDeleteBeing in the fire service I became friends with many local and state police. Many times we would work the same incident together. I learned quite a bit at what can be used as a weapon and some of the things one would never think to use as such criminals would use.
DeleteAh yes, time. Very strange concept in life. We never seem to have time for anything, although we do a lot of things we feel we need to. Glad to see you typing again. Look forward to the post on your cameras.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't it be nice if we could multiply time?
DeleteAh yes, time. Very strange concept in life. It seems we never have time to do anything we want, although we do a lot of things we need to. Making time sounds even weirder...
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you typing again. Look forward to your post about the cameras.
I like your post about the notebook. I respect your knife collection. I mostly collect guns, fountain pens, (well any pen.... well, any writing tool), and small silver plated boxes. --Very glad to see your post. Do not worry about infrequent posts - just post when you are able. I'll be here.
ReplyDeleteBill, I'm curious about your radio collection. Do you mean pocket transistor radios? I really love those.
ReplyDeleteAll old tube radios and a few crystal sets. Very little post WWII.
