You make me laugh. All that serious stuff just melted away when you wrote so humorously about this. I had the thought many times today that if this is the most important thing happening to people, they must live on another earth. There is a pandemic, trouble with vaccines, shootings, problems with Russia, Afghanistan, gas and food prices skyrocketing, hospitals filling with more covid patients, climate change, fake products, and I could go on and on. I needed your humor and deserve it because I live in the real world. The day I worry about a charger or feel cheated because I no longer get one is going to be a day when my life is just about perfect. I worried about the Smith Corona typewriter no longer being made and thought I was getting old because I was about to remember what to many are ancient or outdated equipment. You have given me a new lease on life. Thank you and especially for making me laugh.
