I love my typewriters! They make me happy even if I don’t use them much. The Canon typestar 6, a battery powered 1 lb typewriter is my favorite. It’s from 1982 and I can pick it up and move it anywhere. Permanently archiving thoughts and feelings and ideas, even if nobody will ever read them, is reassuring to the ego.

Shown is my “concept” typewriter from the 1960’s. It won some kind of award for best design. Picked it up for $5 from a Goodwill a couple of years ago.
