Always on the lookout for interesting fonts…this one is called ‘snell roundhand’…seems appropriate…
When I was a boy in Beattyville, we were always on the lookout for flood…
when the mighty Ohio started rising, people wanted to get out of the way BUT they didn’t want to do it too soon, y’know what I mean…no one wanted to pack up their goods and leave their home if the water wasn’t gonna get that high so, every day, several times a day, the citizens of Beattyville, usually singly, but often two or three at a time would walk to the waters edge and check on how fast the old river was coming up…wudn’t like t’day when the television tells us beforehand what’s gonna happen and when it’s gonna happen ’n how high the water is gonna get ’n whether you should get the hell out or not…that’s the real purpose of technology, not the damn games that ever’one is so wrapped up in that they literally can’t see their nose in front of their face…
On the other hand, the camraderie of the situation is gone…no neighbors discussing options…
Ah well, todays children won’t have to drag out the planks ’n lay ‘em across the water to help carry the neighbors belongings out of the way of the coming flood…
Technology is a good thing…mostly…
