Default Dogs and Habits

Have been secluded in the Australian desert for several months, beyond
internet/civilisation. Just dog Rusty and me and an ancient typewriter
that hurt my hands and taxed the old brain hammering together
my new website.
They say dogs are creatures of habit. I say sometimes they are and
other times not - just as humans. Here is a case where habit won.
At home, the last excitement of the day happens in the kitchen. I
squat on the floor, Rusty at the other end. I flick a little dry
morsel across. He jumps at it and squeals, then chews mightily as if
it were a bone. He inflates the show and plays Big Time. So do I by
naming each morsel with a grave: Number One…Number Two…Number Three.
After that it’s bedtime.
Out in the desert, the car bonnet became the kitchen floor. The morsel
shoots through space. Rusty jumps up, does a mid-air pirouette and
catches his trophy. Then he sits and grins, ready for Number Two and
Three.
One day, muddle-headed, I added a nameless Four. Rusty didn’t jump.
His eyes followed that mathematical aberration through the air, then
looked at me. He didn’t shake his head, but I knew what he was
thinking. That morsel remained beyond accepted norms. He didn’t
bother.
But you can’t typecast dogs. At home Rusty has made three places where
he sleeps and changes them at will. I only have one bed. As habit
goes: I am more of a dog than Rusty is.

How do you create a website by typewriter?

Hi diddy, if you plan lots of text for a website, it usually has to be
written down first. And if you are at a location without power supply
to charge batteries, then you've got to it by hand or typewriter. See?
True - for clever people like you I should have phrased it better.
Greetings to diddy - Klaus
