Sunset Theatre, home edition. This plumeria tree was once just a bare stick Amanda found on the ground after Hurricane Ian. The Earth abides.

Merry Christmas to one and all from the Obley clan. Sort of a business-as-usual day here, since the newspaper biz just keeps newspaperin’ but it won’t be a hard day by any measure. Starting the day with my 1972 Olympic Triumph and staring out at my little corner of paradise.

I really am enjoying the heck out of shooting photos. Investing in the proper equipment has taken time, but I’m almost there. Need one more lens and perhaps a second camera body. #sportsphotography #journalism

Though the specific examples are slipping my mind at the moment, there are several great works of fiction where the author made that same exact realization and switched it up. Follow your instinct!

That’s awesome! Living history is the best kind!

Fun fact: Through a series of very lucky acquaintances, I came into possession of these: A camping cup Kerouac used while living in the Desolation Peak fire tower and two cat toys that belong to his cat, Tyke.

Taking Hemingway’s psychiatrist for a spin this morning. #writing #writers #writingcommunity #poetrycommunity #typosphere

This Triumph typewriter was made especially for the 1972 Olympics. What stories must it have written during those dark days in Munich?

Anyone else here have a week in which they didn’t write a word and now they doubt themselves in all things?

This little beauty engenders some of the most polarizing opinions in the #typosphere but a good one (like this one) is just a dream to type on. #writers #writingcommunity

Into everyone’s life, an Olivetti Studio 44 should come. #typewriters #writing #writingcommunity

Just owns the joint.

Today’s typewriter is a lovely late 1950s Olympia SM3. Built like a tank, but smooth as butter. #writing

The kind of content you’ll see from me in this space: Today’s typewriter is a Remington 1 portable. It’s 103 years old and will probably outlive me.

Looking forward to the experience here! Prolly see a whole bunch of typewriters and cats from me, lol

During the signup process, I did that interest thing, but either Blue Sky's people only share cat pictures or I did something wrong.

Hello, everyone. Still doing the usual thing over at the other site because #journalism, but looking forward to seeing what this is all about.
