Edinburgh postscript

A little postscript (or post-type) to my report on Edinburgh is this ad I tore out of a program for the Edinburgh International Book Festival. The city's cultural life revolves around several huge festivals ... and around scotch. I can report that Jura is a good one.

    Nice ad. I do not know if I would enjoy the Scotch or the typewriter the best. Then, the Scotch and the typewriter. Now that is the combination.

    Somewhere in my collection, likely the group hopelessly incarcerated in a workshop cupboard (aka the dungeon) is a machine with a cute, knob-ended carriage or platten release like that - a Remington portable perhaps?

      Yes indeed, it's a Remington portable -- either no. 1 or no. 2.

    Typewriters = storytelling, at least in an ad man's visual vocabulary.

    Now I want a Remington 2. Or a Scotch. Or maybe both.

    I'm coming down with the flu... maybe typing on my Remington portable 2 with a Scotch well at hand could be a good therapy...
