In this case the carriage lock was not set and the case had opened. The generous bubble wrap for the save! Did I need another? No. But Iā€™ve given a couple repaired ones to friends recently and I want to keep a gift machine on hand. The white-out looks like bird droppings. Hope the Simple Green works on that!

I have many pen pals and correspond via handwritten and typed letters. I have a (painful) sitting disability and type while standing- UPDATE! I can also type on an ultraportable I set up on my bed. Typing and collecting machines with different typefaces keeps me busy and happily distracted from the difficulties in life-fountain pens, too, and I can write legibly, in cursive, while laying down. Join me on Type Pals and register for the monthly postcard exchanges. The ā€œCat Mewsā€ is a quarterly publication of the philatelic topical group Cats On Stamps Study Unit (COSSU), for which I am a column contributor. My cats are Wiffle Wizard and Urushi (Rushi) Blizzard, aka the Blizzard Sisters.
