The quote for this week of April 16 is:

 

Only Americans can hurt America.

 

-- Dwight D. Eisenhower

 

Have fun,

Yours,
Randal

From a person's actions, we may infer attitudes, beliefs, --- and values. We do not know these characteristics outright. The human dichotomies of trust and distrust, honor and duplicity, love and hate --- all depend on internal states we cannot directly experience. Isn't this what adds zest to our life?

Here's my usual attempt at Italic. For the color variation I used Lgsoltek's suggestion and poured a drop of another ink into the breather hole.

 

Pen: no name Chinese piston filler with Lamy Z50 1.5mm stub nib.

Ink: J. Herbin 1670 Rouge Hematite & Pelikan 4001 Royal Blue.

Paper: Local.

In cursive. The words are darker and darker because I let a drop of Pelikan 4001 Royal Blue fall in the slit.

A quick test of my new 3.8 mm Pilot Parallel pen filled with the last dregs of my bottle of Levenger Amethyst. Please overlook my wonky Ws. :)
