Nature’s games
I spoke too early about the weather in my last entry and now it’s 30 degrees and snowing like it’s January. I’m always careful to leave my mopeds in storage until I’m sure the snow is done, but I got tricked this year.
My Dad and I went up to the Allegan Antique Market even though it was probably too cold to go. We wandered around the booths with hoods up and gloves on. I always like to look at the typographic items like alphabet stamps, metal type, and weathered signage. The first thing I ran into was an old lettering guide that I’d never seen before. It used a compass-like device that held graphite on one end and allowed you to trace indented letters on a plastic card while moving the device along a straight line. Sort of like a super deluxe stenciling kit.
