UNDERWOOD TYPEWRITER AND MY COMPUTER FOIBLES

 


Much of my work was begun on an Underwood typewriter.  Then I worked at an antique/second hand store that sold them for a hefty price.  Royals were a fine manual typewriter but they did not command the same awe as an Underwood with the noir detective in black and white or the fedora-hatted newspaper reporter frantic to make a deadline. Energetic intent was required to make the keys strike the paper.  Wrote some strong volumes this way.  Then I graduated to a Remington  electric and it slowed me down considerably.  One little slip and the entire carriage whisks away brrrrrrrrp with duplication of error.  Never mind that 'white out' applied with a brush or white correction tape took extra time.  With the Underwood this was a deliberate process and part of the craft.  With the Remington electric, I held the correction white out while a key slapped up painfully to bruise my finger.  Writing became cries of anguish and despair.

I began this little paper as an explanation and excuse to send academics and editors.  Some await submission of my work pondering ancient and forgotten lore (quoth the....never mind) through electronic transmission.  They say something like "just send it through googaloo dracks using squeemish sasquatch code software"  

Okie dokie.

THE ANTI-BOLSHEVIK ACTION PACK

Image
A Heritage and Legacy Action Pack.  Free. The content of two Krisler books. This post features free content on the theme of honoring our Elders and recent ancestors in a way that continues into the future.  Two blog posts remember the Communist atrocity of circa 1950 Latvia and how we may face a similar prospect worldwide today.  AWARENESS AND ATTITUDE CAN PREVENT THE ONSLAUGHT WHILE CREATING A BETTER HARMONY WITH WHAT SHOULD MANIFEST INSTEAD. The new Bolshevik/Cheka controllers want us to forget our ancestors and relations to make us mere cogs in their machine.  This first post is about overcoming Marxist historical events while utilizing success principles of those who triumphed through adapting to a better way. KRISLER https://retrofuturistamerica.blogspot.com/p/krisler-western-man-in-cycle-of-war.html The second post, also free, is about similarities now in the mandate of controllers that can again be overcome with principled living today.  KRISLER BOOK TWO https://cornermarketrf.

HEROIC TRADITION. NEW THOUGHT MINDSET. MAZDAN STUDIES. MANOSPHERE

[This post was originally for my Paranormal blog. It will still appear there because the implications and benefits of advanced human ability are an important aspect of this work.  However, statistics and protocols are secondary to just plain living well. How we live in a way that is practical transcends any 'science' as a limited field.  Living well is the best paranormal.]   Here is a version of that essay.   Thomas Carlyle's advocacy of the heroic in our culture is no longer mentioned in our schools.  In fact few teachers, much less students, know who Carlyle was.   Thomas Carlyle (1795 - 1881) was a contemporary and friend of the American transcendentalist, Ralph Waldo Emerson.  I believe that to a student in the mid-1960s Carlyle was still known in literature until his banishment at some later time.  His heroic standards for the West seems to have been too much for our emerging Liberalism.  But this is not a grievance study.  I'll leave that to others.
