I would. My typewriter in college had an "A" key that was very sharp and would cut a little hole in the typing paper

yikes. O.O that was a vicious key.

(send me your address! it's possible i have it but just in case.)

My mom has a typewriter that types in cursive. :)

!!! how cool! i didn't even know you could get typewriters that did that!

Up until a couple of years ago, a typewriter was actually part of my work equipment (for typing spine labels) - a nasty eighties one, not a cool vintage one, though.

(% sounds plenty hot to me!

anything over 75º is hot to me. blargh. at least it wasn't excessively humid....

we got a little label making machine at work for typing labels for folders. which is just as well, since there's nowhere to put a typewriter. i love that there was still a use for a typewriter in your office, even if it was kind of a crappy one.

I feel so bad that it's so hot all over; I *think* we hit eighty-something degrees Fahrenheit today? And then it rained, so yay, rain! And yay to your rain, too! *waves from SE Ga., keeps weather eye on 'Tropical Storm Debby' *
Ahh, typewriters. My first was a manual Brother; kept it even after we located my mom's IBM Selectric (it CHUGGED when you turned it on!)--oh, that one had optional print-balls, one of those was cursive?--then a Sharp electronic; she lost her 'e' key, but was good as gold until Katrina!...to sum up, yes, I'd love a typewritten note, please!^^ I don't know why I hadn't thought of finding one at a pawn shop or Goodwill here...hmmm!
Victory gardens sound lovely! We're growing bell peppers on the front porch right now; there is one little pepper already =D
Also, marigolds are crazy, and I have a diva bamboo tree >.<
hiiii^^

this time of year rain is always good, unless it's flood type rain. but otherwise, plants like it and it cools stuff down, and there's just no bad there.

when i was a wee thing we had a green royal manual that i liked because the ribbon had a red strip over the black. and i remember the selectrics with print balls! we had one too. well, i think it was a selectric. it was an electric typewriter, anyway. i typed lots of papers on it. and after that we had an electric olivetti that my dad basically stole from his office when we moved >.< and which was like an early word processor, because it could store two lines in its memory before actually typing them out. it had a tiny screen so you could see what you were typing before it went on the paper. it was a beast, tho, and big for a typewriter ( ... )
