On 30 Dec 1896, SS Warwick crashed into the rocks at Grand Manan, New Brunswick. All on board safely evacuated, but the locals soon found a tasty surprise in the hold of the ship, providing for quite a New Year's Eve celebration. #maritimehistory #Canada www.shipwrecksandseadogs.com/warwick

The last time I took a #charter flight was in the 80s. It was one of those cheap carriers that flew between L.A. & Europe. We went north into a colder climate & water started to drip from the ceiling & onto some of the passengers. We took a commercial flight #home. #vssdaily #thingstowriteabout

Don’t tell my fortune, my tea leaves when the bag burst. Don’t read my palm, paint splattered life line. I will walk into the room without the light on & invariably bump into something but you don’t have to tell me. Sometimes I find things better if I stumble in the dark… #thingstowriteabout

#vss365 At first, she received each new day with #delight. Saw it as a chance to perfect and undo the mistakes and missed opportunities of the last. To help others and find redemption. Though reliving the same day wore everyone down at some point. Ground them down to their knees in despair...

The #vssdaily #prompt for 1/1/26 is #hello

Where do our youthful #dreams go? Do you keep them tucked under your pillow waiting for an opportunity to use them? Or are they alphabetized in folders in the filing cabinet aka your brain? Now that I’m older I’ve stopped chasing dreams & have turned them into memories instead. #vss365

It wasn’t hard to finish reading Joyce’s ‘Ulysses’ but Tolstoy’s ‘War and #Peace’ was another matter. It was a club I’d never #belong to and just wanted to #throw the book over the #cliff. No, I will not try to read it again. #whistpr #vssdaily #2wordprompt

California hates freedom.

The #vssdaily #prompt for 12/31/25 is #cliff

Finding a #durable and permanent #solution to the issue will never happen. Nothing is built to last. The widespread use of cheap parts ensures a quick failure of the end product. You should know these things already. If not, you should stop now and not start this project. #2wordprompt

The time had come for her to #liberate her #beloved Pharoah & put him out of his misery. They’d grown up together. She learned to ride him 35 years ago when she was 10 years old. When the vet arrived she left the barn. Would she get another horse? She didn’t know yet. #blueskyrelay #whistpr

Yep. The sequel to The Pale House Devil is out and pretty creepy.

He was #sitting naked on that #sad #planet called Earth. Once it had been a place he #cherished for its beauty & wonderful creatures, but no more after the #gremlins had taken over. He was lucky he was still alive but for how much longer? #vssdaily #2wordprompt #blueskyrelay #thingstowriteabout

Fillet of #sole with #mint jelly? Taste it. It doesn’t sound good. Taste it. Don’t want to. Taste it. If you insist. Taste it. Mmm.Yummy. Told you! #vss365 #whistpr

#Vss365 He was the #Sole proprietor named above the door. However, his silent partners and benefactors preferred anonymity. For them, the backrooms and basement of the magical shoe shop were their domain. With only one rule - to never enter unless invited. The arrangement had functioned...

Rory was the #sole player around, waiting for others to join him to fight the world boss to complete every listed task to perform in this region. It got like this, sometimes. All the other players had their own things to do. Sometimes, it could take days, weeks, to catch someone else. #vss365

So, if I am looking for a compact manual typewriter for which ribbons and parts are reasonably available, what do you suggest based on your experience? What are units or problems to avoid? Do you have a reputable source? I know of Philly Typerwriter (www.phillytypewriter.com) but have yet to visit.

Learned to type in ’68 on a black & silver Royal manual #typewriter. I can still hear the clackety-clack of the metal keys. Then the Selectric came along, with plastic keys & a metal ball that danced when you typed. Wish I still had one of those #brilliant machines. #whistpr #thingstowriteabout

Some humans will go to great lengths only to get to Mars, while others go to greater lengths for a meal and a hope. #vss365 #Mars
