    1. Just wanted to share my excitement! I've been into typewriters for about 2 years and I started buying and repairing and selling typewriters just short of a year now. I have a small YT channel, an IG account and word of mouth around the village (pop. Aprox 1200 ppl) where a local grandpa asked to fix up his old Triumph, which was a freebie for experience and, not gonna charge grandpa! Last week, someone from across the island reached out to me, asking for assistance. They had recently purchased an Olivetti Letters 31, his first typewriter. We chatted and agreed on a price and a week later, it's now ready for pick-up. New ribbon, general degrease, clean and polish. The client is already excited and happy with the images and will collect it tomorrow. As far as I am aware, there is no "official" repair shop in Mallorca and from searches, I appear to be the only one (correct me if I'm wrong) but, the fact that someone found me and asked for my services, has made me extremely happy and excited and I'm hoping this will open the door to many new typewriters in look of TLC. Just wanted to share and thank all of you who have helped and given advice on repairs and general questions I've had which has led me to this point. Let's hope this is the start of something new and exciting.

    1. Impactful photographs have often been referred to as a snapshot in time. That moniker genuinely captures both the literal and figurative impact of photos.

      Strong opening that helps frame the essay's theme.

    1. The inland wetlands and watercourses of the state of Connecticut are an indispensable and irreplaceable but fragile natural resource with which the citizens of the state have been endowed. The wetlands and watercourses are an interrelated web of nature essential to an adequate supply of surface and underground water; to hydrological stability and control of flooding and erosion; to the recharging and purification of groundwater; and to the existence of many forms of animal, aquatic and plant life.
