I’ve often wondered what the back story behind this large and vacant facility is. Now I know. I wasn’t here for the discussions about this being a rehab, but it sure is a shame to see a large building that could house a lot of medical services just sitting vacant.

I just started a reread of The Dead Zone and noticed a signficant reference to 19. Won’t go into detail for fear of ‘spoiling.’

Made me wonder what the earliest 19 in King’s body of work is. Gonna have to through some references and early works!

I’d like to experiment with replacing the nib in one of my Go pens. Looking for an F or an EF.

A few years ago, my stub-nib TWSBI GO broke. I mourned it. But I didn't replace it right away. And being a weird cheap bastard, I also didn't throw it away.

Then last year, I was in Toronto and went to WonderPens, as is my wont. I bought myself a spanking new 1.1 stub TWSBI and order was restored to the world.

Last week, the new one broke in exactly the same way: the cap came off the spring and, I thought, the threads were stripped. No matter what I tried, it wouldn't catch.

"Maybe I can use it as a plunger-fill," I thought, and went to Google. At which point I found out that the end-cap threads COUNTER CLOCKWISE. So now I have two 1.1 stub TWSBI GOs in working order.

The end.

Well worth the watch.
