Crow and Paper

There is a crow to watch. It is eating rice we had put out for them to enjoy. It seems to be enjoying the rice. It is early in the afternoon and you can see the definitions of its feathers. The striations move back and forth. Standing in the sunlight. It distracts me from the rest of the world.

Joe Van Cleave popped up a short video about paper. This stuff he and you and I type on. He has an assortment of papers for typing on, when he can bring himself to type on them. Most of them, it makes me think of a stationary store or shelves in a big box, Staples or Office Deport, dedicated to stationary. He saves them for letters to people or final drafts. It loaks to be quite a collection he has there. Enough for years of nice destinations of writing.

Then there is a cheaper, in cost, in quality, in all things that make a paper, brand of paper he has. It is something he can let go of for typing the first drafts, the place where he can strick out (strick??) what he has found to be misspelled or just not what he wants to write.

I noted that his, like many of of yours, has a finished quality to them. So I wonder:

Do you type a draft and then re-type it for OTP?

I certainly do not. I can see it for some of you. But others their prose is clean and error free and nice. Do you type a draft and then a final for submission to One Typed Page?

I hear a ukulele calling me, calling my name, for me to play on it. There are hours and hours of playing to do.

Just read the One Typed Page for today and now have a PS

“Know that as long as I am here there will always be someone who is below your status.” Uh, I do not know about that. I will compete with you on that status. Manu Chao is great, who I just heard about for the first time today, less than an hour ago. And I like the 100% cotton Almond Linen Sothworth it seems to have come to a great place to rest.
