Berkeley PD has issued an evacuation order. Generally go east of 7th street. Expected arrival 12:10 Transbay tube (BART) is shut down. KCBS has Dr. Lucy Jones on the air.

I like how you make "out of frame" work really well.

If it had rounded ends, that would likely be the 120. It was a "student pen" (sub-contracted to Merz and Krell) that came with a wide selection of screw in nibs. One Ebay seller told me the cap would sometimes break because of the pressure the clip would place on it. You can still find them on Ebay.

May as well as practice self care.
As kind of a pleasant aside. Cass Elliot (formerly of the Mamas and Papas) had a song out about the rumors of a massive California earthquake that was popular at the time (1971?). Interesting misconceptions back then.

I'm curious (and not up to speed), but what are the advantages of this techno nib?

It's good to hear your analysis on these shakers, Lucy. Kind of helps calm things down. Welcome to Bluesky.

Maybe I don't know much about Aurora pens, but why does the nib look bent over like a flap?

Here's mine: Screw-on cap. The nib does not seem prone to leakage, the fun of trying different bottled inks and no worries about it taking it out to places where it might be damaged or stolen. Cons: EF nib only, not what I call an art or calligraphy pen.

I started grade school with the basic-blue BIC ballpoint. The only thing it said about me was I took what was handy.
Now I'm having some fun with the Jinhao 86 EF Fountain Pen Set I got from Amazon. They resemble a Parker 51 and ship with a converter. $15 for a pack.

Jetpens carries a wide variety of white ink pens, markers and bottled inks as well as reviews to help you decide. Actually if you don't want to risk clogs. A good marker or brush might work.

Interesting reddit article. I wasn't even aware since I moved away from Noodlers a while back.

It happens and I'm sure everyone here has their own way of cleaning it off their skin. Humboldt Hands Tobacco Bay has worked well for me. Your local hardware store might have it, but you can also order direct from fernvalleysoaps.com
