There is currently a small insect on its back, wriggling helplessly on my desk.
I have given it something to grab onto, and it is now right-side up.
For some reason or another, I have started using wood pencils again.
I had been using Pentel “Quicker Clicker” mechanical pencils for more than 10 years.
Mechanical pencils never quite attain an “optimal dullness.”





Where is the picture of the insect?
Where, for that matter, is the picture of a pencil, or “optimal dullness”?
