Another version of that attributed to a veteran of three combat tours in Vietnam is: "Life sucks, but it beats the alternative."

 

More hardcore version.

Nothing's too good for the man who shot Liberty Valance.… One of the greatest movie westerns ever made, and my all-time favorite western.

I love the smell of fountain pen ink in the morning.

The Happy Warrior was one of a kind. H.R. Haldeman frequently told the story of the airline flight he was on—and whom he'd sat next to—sometime after Haldeman had served his Watergate prison sentence. He was not only a national pariah, but he had personally overseen the sabotage of Humphrey's 1972 candidacy before it had had the chance to get off the ground. By happenstance, Humphrey sat next to him on that plane ride. And Humphrey couldn't have been more friendly, more pleasant, and more reassuring to Haldeman than if St. Francis of Assisi had been there instead.

I believe I read the story in The Haldeman Diaries: Inside the Nixon White House by H. R. Haldeman, published posthumously.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
