I think you should get him a Rotring Core...Swisher has ‘em on clearance for $10 with the converter.
They’re hideous (in a very cool, ugly sci-fi sort of way), bulletproof, and write very nicely.
Search their site for the code RO22460 when you get a minute.
Ok...I did it!
I like it that they take Paypal.
Good morning! I had an awful experience last night! Actually a series.
See, last night was the last BA CHEF meetings for the year. So as I was walking out, it was pouring...a thunderstorm with lightening all around. You know the kind...the lightening strikes, then immediately BOOM! So I’m running out of my car and see one of my fellow lady members BACK RIGHT INTO OZ! She just bumped the front bumper but of course I immediately freaked out. She and I were standing in front of the car in this hideous weather assessing the damage. All I could see was a two inch rubbed area of black on my dark gray bumper so we agreed that if I saw anything in better weather I could let her know.
So I got in the car and got about a block away and it began to rain so hard that I couldn’t see and my car was rocking in the wind. I got really nervous so I pulled into a parking lot. The wind was seriously blowing so hard that I was afraid the roof might blow off a building (as you recall, that has happened to me before.) The trees weren’t blowing in the wind, they were bent over and staying bent over in the wind.
Then it started hailing...nickel sized, not too big but it was LOUD and so I pulled over to the lee of the building and avoided most of the wind and hail because everything was blowing sideways from the west and I was on the east side of the building.
The whole time, I’ve got my cell phone and I’m hollering at Steve and he’s telling me it’s almost past. Sure enough about 10-15 minutes later it all passed and I was able to drive home.
I shook for half an hour after that.
