And, if you're allergic to tutuguans....http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2014/09/11/manual-transmissions-getting-rarer-in-us/

 

What's this gotta do with handwriting? I copy, YOU decide.

 

Someone much more creative than me, could've replaced the words like "manual transmission" with "fountain pen", "automatic" with "keyboard"..."Volkswagen" with "Montblanc"....you get my drift?

That's just sad, whether we're talking vehicles or pens. I'll take my manual transmission Jeep Wrangler for daily driving over just about anything else. And Z loves his little Dodge Neon precisely because it has a manual transmission (Dog knows, that and great gas mileage are the only things that cramped little sardine can has going for it, imho!). I/We only have one auto transmission vehicle--my 1976 Jeep CJ-7. It's my rock crawler, beach dune driving fun Jeep, and there are definite advantages to driving an automatic in those conditions.

 

I'm obviously showing my age. I prefer old cars (my dream car was the 1964 1/2 / early 1965 Mustang, having grown up with them. Hubby finally got one for me for my b'day one year. And I adore my Jeep Wrangler (2002--the youngest vehicle we own), and especially my souped-up V-8 (304), lifted C-J! I also prefer vintage pens, for the most part. And old architecture--Victorian, Arts & Crafts era, ancient old castles like the ones we explore in the UK and Ireland. Even older fashions from the '40s, etc.

 

Still 'n' all, technology has its place. I much prefer computers to old typewriters for everyday use, for example. Solitaire on the computer instead of with paper cards. Fuel injection to carbeurators. Electric lights to kerosene lamps. But when it comes to pens and cars, give me the old ones every time!

 

Which reminds me--does anyone know how to tune a 4 bbl. carbeurator on a '76 Jeep?

"In the end, only kindness matters."

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
