Grand Avenue by Mike Thompson for August 27, 2022

I remember when I’d never heard of carpel tunnel. Only one side so far.

I give this one two thumbs up

My thumbs cover 3 or 4 letters at a time, so I have to peck at it.

People ask why I refuse to text. I’ve been tested at 105+ words per minute on a standard keyboard. I don’t have the patience for pecking with two thumbs. You text me, you’re either going to get a) an immediate phone call back, b) an email response later when I have time, or c) ignored, depending on your level of relationship, if any, with me. But you’ll never get a return text.

I was a fair typist, but for texting, I’m a hunt-and-pecker. Hmm, I’m surprised that got past the censor bot.

There used to be a strip called “Heaven’s Love Thrift Shop.” One day one of the characters modernized a classic hymn to “Oh, for a thousand thumbs to text my great Creator’s praise.”
