Are you a private eye? Looks like you've been casing the joint.

Steve. Pretty much.

Inscribed copy from Oblong Books. Book arrived with a few issues but I like the inscription all the same. I found it really cool that he crosses his 7s like I do

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

Ahhhhh! A pox on those crossed sevens I tell you!

Yeah, it's something "odd" that I discovered a few years back. I dont remember how the subject came into conversation with my wife (scottish), but one day I discovered that she doesnt cross the 7s when she writes (and this is the very first time I noticed that it's not crossed on computers).

Which seemed odd to me that at the time because, I believe that in France we all grow up learning that 7s are crossed!


Nice book by the way!

Thanks, Jeremy! I've mentioned it before but my 9th grade Algebra teacher insisted that we cross our 7s or our grade would be reduced. Since then, it's been as natural to do so as breathing. It is irritating that it isn't crossed on the keyboard lol. I can't say with 100% certainty, but I believe Owen might the only one that does this out of the three or maybe four counting his mother. I don't recall ever seeing Steve or Joe cross their 7s on a dated sig. Would be interesting to learn where Owen picked up the practice.

Great inscription, Brian. Sorry to hear about the damage.

Maybe you could ask Owen on twitter?

I live in the stone age. My temperatures are Fahrenheit, unless they're Centigrade (not that other abominable word), My sevens and twos are totally distinguishable from each other so no stinkin' crosses (or batches either, for that matter) are needed or wanted. I go to movies to WATCH the movie, not talk or kick the seat in front of me or clear my throat every ten seconds or fidget around in my seat or use my cell phone (I don't have one anyway), and I cater to political correctness only by putting a dreaded cross through my zeros! We must all kowtow to society somewhere.

I learned to cross my sevens in the Army. Been doing it ever since.
