Antique typewriter?
Does anyone have a working antique typewriter that they'd be willing to loan out for a few days in late October?

be my neighbor, part 2
Here's the rental house listing on craigslist.
i spoke with the owners today; they seem intent on making it a nice place to live, keeping it that way, and installing excellent tenants this time around.
there's an open house tomorrow, from 1-3 I think. they had one today and they're actually still there (at 5:45) doing more work on the house.
