There are times, when the sun is at the right angle, where the red ink portion of the ribbon glows like it is on fire, or is the literal blood flowing through the machine - an open vein. I’ve never been able to get the phone’s camera to accurately capture it & likely never will. #typewriter #poetry

A bit of color and Swiss precision for October. It’s such a bummer how poorly the iPhone color processor works … the iconic mint green is so much more impressive in person. This Hermes Baby was another wonderfully inexpensive find, since the reseller couldn’t figure out the carriage lock …

Today was not a poetry day, and tomorrow is October 1st, so the Olympia De Luxe SM9 is getting put back into the case. I thoroughly enjoyed my time on the German behemoth. Leaning towards another ultraportable for October, but no decision made yet. #typewriter #nopoetry

It’s much more humid here today than what is normal for San Diego. It definitely feels a lot more like growing up in Alabama, especially with the tropical storms moving through. If this is an accurate sign of what the coming El Niño is bringing … it’s gonna be wet. #typewriter #poetry #humidity

At the Moulin Rouge (Au Moulin Rouge)
"At the Moulin Rouge" by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec captures the vibrant social scene of the famous Parisian cabaret with its vivid colors and dynamic composition. The painting reflects Lautrec's intimate perspective on the nightlife, showcasing both the clientele and entertainers of the Moulin Rouge.

Change isn’t easy for me - the big changes in life, new phases, pivots, resets. I’ve had LOTS of them - including 3 marriages and divorces, and 1 of 2 children moving onto adulthood (the 2nd w/ one foot out the door). BIG changes. Moving into a new pot w/ fresh soil is a shock. #typewriter #poetry

“… I drove and I listened …” 6+hrs in a car with two VERY excited 16yo girls, driving back and forth from San Diego to LA for a concert. Lots of time stuck in traffic on the way up, and then the excited retelling of the concert on the way home. You hear a lot when you listen. #typewriter #poetry

I live less than a mile from 2 hospitals that are less than half a mile apart, as well as countless other businesses. That makes my residential street a much coveted area for free parking. Mornings are an insane feeding frenzy, as drivers circle the block hoping to find a spot. It’s almost comical.

“… the Sun doesn’t care …” A bit “under the weather” this morning, so had to skip the track and my usual Sunday morning “church.” Just a slight cold, but enough that it negated any and all sleep. So today is a rest day, almost like a “sabbath.” #typewriter #poetry

As I sat down in front of my typewriter w/ my coffee, without looking at any news or social media, I pondered “is he dead yet?” And then I immediately had a flash of memory, to the first time I saw the semi-blurred black and white photos of Mussolini and his mistress hanging w/ other fascists …

Second night in a row, the local power grid failed. It’s an older part of town, so the infrastructure isn’t fully updated. The strain has been incredibly high, with temps that barely dip overnight. The days sizzle, and evenings are a slightly lower simmer. #typewriter #poetry

A hot and thirsty planet is only getting hotter and thirstier. And we’re selling off our future for magic beans, in the for of AI data centers. Water and electricity traded off for videos of cats juggling chainsaws and celebrities having sex with aliens. #typewriter #poetry #fuckai

My neighbor of 28+ years passed away in his bed some time in the past few days. He was 86-88yrs old, lived alone, and fiercely independent. None of us had seen him for a couple days, and there was a smell. Our old building has no AC, and the temps were record highs. #typewriter #poetry #heatdeath

Ambassadeurs: Aristide Bruant dans son cabaret
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec used flat, bold colors and forms to create this stunning poster of Aristide Bruant, a popular Parisian cabaret singer. When the Ambassadeurs, one of the largest café-concerts of the day, engaged Bruant to perform, he insisted that Toulouse-Lautrec make this advertisement of his show. Bruant was known for his use of street slang and rowdiness on stage, and Toulouse-Lautrec successfully captured Bruant's commanding personality in this lithograph.

“… like a fever …” My preferred paper size is laughably small in the massive SM9 carriage. Every time I pull one of the Olympia machines out, I’m reminded that these German machines are just impeccably built and smooth typing. Crisp and robust - and heavy as hell. #typewriter #poetry

It’s that time again … Many thanks to the great Constellation. It was a joy to type on this humble Smith-Corona-made machine. Some parts of the ‘70s weren’t totally awful. Next up, another ‘70s machine & one of my early finds - in the first six of my collection. The legendary Olympia SM9 De Luxe.

First ride since last Sunday’s track workout … so I suppose that means my legs were “rested?” I dunno … they seemed a little blown out still. But, hey … pedaling with friends is better than not pedaling with friends.
