Touchless

Wow, abundant typos here. I can see how a swipe-n-slide lifestyle makes one's fingers flabby. Clearly I need more typing practice.

Apologies for the grammar gaffes and typos (I do know when to use "its" and "it's", honest.) Can I say I was focused on the spacebar fix and not paying attention to what my fingers were typing? Yeah, let's go with that.

Well of course I'm going to link to the book. E-book editions are currently:

• On Smashwords
• On Amazon
• On Barnes & Noble 

Smashwords will also distribute to Apple, Kobo and Sony, but I'm in the hurry-up-and-wait stage for that. Ditto for the printed proof copy of the book, which will make its way to me in about a week and a half. I'll do a massive recap post when I can breathe again.

Typed -- courageously -- on the Brother/Montgomery Wards Signature 513:

Wide Load

Speaking of depreciation, the price I paid for this (in 2010 dollars) equates to $0.93 in 1967 dollars, roughly the price of a pound of ground coffee in the supermarket. This machine stayed local, as you can see from the owner's notes. Interestingly, our dining room table and living room furniture in our current home came from the same store, about 30 years later, just a handful of years before "Monkey Ward" disappeared entirely.
