EV>You might be right about the second line ending at the word DOG. EV>I haven't type those lines in a long time. DS> I remember "Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of DS> their country", and "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy DS> dog"...the latter, because it has every letter in the alphabet at least DS> once. Yes, I remember being told that about the THE QUICK BROWN... line. Every Key on the Typewriter (Keyboard) is used when typing that line, IF I don't get My fingers crossed. EV>I think I'm repeating Myself here but here goes - DS> Like the line in the movie "What's Up, Doc??" (Ryan O'Neil, Barbara DS> Streisand, and an all star cast). He said "I'm not repeating myself!! DS> I'm not repeating myself!! Oh, God!! I'm repeating myself!!" . Never saw that movie. Was that one made when Movies Were Better Than Ever? EV>I had played with Typewriters a few times with the HAP Method - EV>Hunt And Peck. DS> Was that discovered by HAP-enstance?? GOOD UN! +1 for U! EV>After some time I was hearing all 26 letters, sent as some words or EV>as five letter code groups.

It has been some time since You took that 5 WPM CW Test, try it again to see it You and make any sense out of what You hear. EV>Then the sending speed was increased. DS> At a hamfest in the Little Rock area many years ago, they had "A CW DS> Shootout At High Noon". Two hams tied for the top at 55 WPM!! WOW! 35 WPM sounds like a Machine Gun to Me, back when I was active on the Air I was comfortable with sending/receiving 22 WPM. Don't know how good I am at it now, I guess I HAVE TO add another line to the ROUNDTUIT List to listen to a Code Practice session on the Radio. I think [TM] I can listen to that on a web page also............ EV>Could She feed You the Crow and Pie while You and Her did a do-si-do on the EV>square dance floor? DS> I'd eat between the dancing "tip"...which is a "patter call" (square DS> dance moves only to music), then a "singing call" (square dance moves DS> done to a song). You said, "I'd eat" - SHE didn't get to eat some of that "four and twenty black birds baked in a pie" with You? Surely She licked Her fingers to get a little taste of it. I was wondering if She Square Danced too, that's why I asked. Maybe keeping Daryl in line was enough for Her to do and She sat on the bench and watched You. Back in the 1970's Me and My Wife went to a Community get together and watched some older people Square Dancing and the young people doing a little bit different style of dancing while the music was playing. Everybody on the floor was having fun while We just sat and watched. DS> While 3 hours of square dancing is equivalent to 6 miles of walking, DS> many go out afterwards to eat and chat...including having "a banana hot DS> fudge royale sundae"...after all, they did EARN it!! That is a new style of sundae to Me. Is it served in a Sundae Cup with the Banana sliced in Round [not Square] pieces or in a Banana Split Dish with the Banana sliced lengthwise? Sound Yummy to Me! 73 de Ed W9ODR . . ....
