He's Got a Ticket to Write

Travel Day

Wednesday, July 10, 2019 was a travel day as we headed north from Mendocino to Smith River, an easy distance of 250 miles, though much of it was on some of the twistiest parts of Highway 1 along what we call the Lost Coast.

Along the way we stopped once so that a California Highway Patrolman could write me a speeding ticket (91/65) and once so that I could find a late first year Parker “51” for $5.00. They are still out there!

Amazingly enough when we landed at our B&B for the evening I tested the pen and it still works! And I do have ink. 

A tootpaste polish and I may use it tomorrow always hoping that the 78 year old diaphragm doesn’t give up the ghost.
