They might if they felt like they were under attack. See Comey, James. 😉

I retired my old Shaeffer Snorkels and such some time ago because they were just too fussy. The new inexpensive models with cartridge refills work amazingly well-- the nib might not be all fancy with gold or palladium, but they're the smoothest pens I've ever used. I have two, a Pilot Retro and a Waterman, and neither was over $20.

I like to use them because I need constant reminders to slow down and appreciate things more. Cowboy boots also help with that, because they make me walk slower and more deliberately. I'm trying to unlearn the in-a-hurry habit I somehow managed to incorporate when I was working.

Start with @donmelton and @harphat and watch their feeds for things that interest you. You'll be at 1500 in no time. I sort of did that by accident and have discovered many an interesting person. There will be a wide range of interests to select from.

I have read a lot of things today. I mean, a lot. All else pales before this sparkling gem. This is simply the most beautiful and well-crafted thing I will see for quite a while, I'm sure.

Thanks very much for posting that. I'll now start putting a list together of people to send it along to. 😆

@TerryBernstein @SecularJeffrey
And just think, those people probably vote. This is why we can't have nice things.

@AnEnglishHuman@mstdn.party
This over here is me hoping that there will be a series of these. The "let the dogs out" one is still amusing me.

@crowvocado
Very nice indeed. Watch your mailbox for your Internet Achievement award!

@juglugs
And that was just the SHORT list of reprehensible behaviors.

I'm really delighted that my state (AZ) has legalized THC products, though I have no personal interest in using it myself. I know a couple of people who did some time for pot before that happened. It's ludicrous.

@lauren
That's an excellent point, and the very idea of going after the FBI in any way will certainly have repercussions to which I look forward.

@bmaz
Good guess! Staples it was. Though I did wind up having to go to OfficeMax during the same outing, since the local (Prescott) Staples apparently no longer even carries fountain pen cartridges. Imagine the boggling my mind underwent on that discovery.

@damianaswan
Ohhh. Pardon me while I slap my forehead, and thanks for the enlightenment. So it was basically a dastardly trick to make me go back to the store and buy a dispenser, then. 😆 Well played, 3M!

@lavenderlens
Thanks so much for the explanation, now it all makes sense.

I recently bought a few packs of Post-Its, and they're attached to each other accordion-style. Why the hell would they do that? Am I supposed to remember from sheet to sheet which way to pull them off? For god's sake, make it stop.

@MDindar
Will the finish be dark, or light? And once again, very handsome! A graceful curve at the back brings it to life.
