    1. This is something for the category of 'most interesting things found inside of a typewiter'. As I was inspecting and preparing to test a new-to-me SC 5LE, when I opened the ribbon cover, I saw this. I wish I had taken a better picture of what i looked like after I got the shell off of the machine, but I was pretty intent on getting it outside and making sure it wasn't inhabited. I ID'd it later as a mud wasp/mud dauber nest.

    1.   April is the cruellest month, breeding

      April is the cruelest month in that weather conditions are known to be less forgiving; rain messes up terrain, and some places deal with snow instead. Nonetheless the rain nourishes plants and pastures, and more life comes from what has died prior.
