So only a line or two of writing is visible at a time. Other backstrokes include the Fitch and the Waverley.<br /><br />PS: Dude, you wrote "typerwriter"!Richard Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16232053429935587826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5771393570564645054.post-46629544503500828522012-07-23T17:37:47.207-07:002012-07-23T17:37:47.207-07:00not exactly related to this post but how might i b...not exactly related to this post but how might i be able to get my blog added to "the mighty blogroll"?an *sshole with a typewriter.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17601390528012126726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5771393570564645054.post-5667272392901033792012-07-23T17:34:22.966-07:002012-07-23T17:34:22.966-07:00According to Tom Russo:
