Still hampered by the splint, I used my 1961 Smith Corona Coronet Automatic, an electric typewriter, again for Typing Assignment #5 at Joe Van Cleave’s blog. This assignment “is to work with that worst of all opening lines to a story, “It was a dark and stormy night.” This line has been panned for decades …
