I treat my phone as a camera and a walkman, unless Mrs. King calls. Then, I drop everything. Sometimes a phone is a walkie-talkie. People know to not text me. I am like an old man on a computer with a phone keyboard.
I agree with the last part, though at least when I make a mistake it's my own fault. I have a crappy Bluetooth keyboard for my tablet and its a massive PITA to use fails to register key presses almost every other word 😡🤬😤

@Presby John-Dave , how is that Kaweco treating you?

I have stopped carrying mine. I am not totally against it, but, I just don't like the feel of the shaft in my hand. It's too short and it seems too rink-a-dink plastic-y for me. It is feather-light. Plus, the art store around the corner only has Midnight Blue (TM) ink cartridges, which are driving me nuts. I like black.

I am interested in your field observations on this pen.

Dare I say...I don't much care for it. I wasn't expecting for it to feel as flimsy as it does. It sounds like we have the same complaint there. I bet the brass version is a dream, though.

Oh well! I'll still use it, but it won't even come close to replacing my Pilot Metropolitan.

Really glad I didn’t fall down this rabbit hole. I chose the Tea Rabbit Hole instead 🤣
