MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD!
You might want to take notes on this
blog. Writing goes way back, to the
caves. But for most of our history it
was the Quill Pen that took the notes.
Our Declaration of Independence
was penned by quill! But today we
celebrate a major advancement in
writing. For it was on this day, 76
years ago, that the Biro brothers
obtained a patent for the ballpoint
pen! I though those things had been
around forever!
They were hard to come by at
first. Very expensive. These days
they're all over the place. Some
companies give them away as
premiums. Of course the ones in
the bank are still chained to the
desk where you endorse your
check. I have one that's a
stylist on one end and a
flashlight on the other. And, oh
yes. it writes as well. Wonder
what the Biro brothers would
make of that?
Hope you're well and that all
your NEWS is good!
