An  old  fart using  an old way to communicate.   The  posting of a letter into the mail.

                I  moved away from the town of Newburgh  back in December  of 2023.    I had made about six or so extra good friends  there since moving there from Walden , New York.   The  trailer I was living in was made in 1971.  It had gotten into a poor condition with the including of mold in the upper areas of walls of it near it,s center and middle at the spot of the bathroom. I  was a worker from 1975 to   2007.  Then though I became disabled in 2007.    So  a few lousy problems  were coming to a head.  I left to start living in a new location  after living there in Walden from 1991 or 1992  til  2018.    To me being in Newburgh  was mostly new because  I was living in a place others lived in also too. I in the trailer was there by myself a my cat and a dog.  Culture  shock , one of my own devised in my mind I see it as.    So in a surprising  sort of way I had to leave to go from Walden and how I,d known things for a real long time to  moving once more again because the landlord chose  to place the home I rented one room in of it ,  up for sale.   So  my nice friend lives about eight houses down the st.   He is 96 years old. I looked up the last name because  I forgot it earlier.   Then on a rainy day  two and a half weeks ago I wrote a hand  written   2 pg letter. I stamped an envelope  and addresses  it.   Into the mailbox it went.  Off to him it  I thought for sure it was  sent.  Three days ago I saw the letter part of it in my scraps of lists , notes and scrap paper.   So I wrote an all new one just putting the   Hi  to you  Lou , &   his son Lance and have a good  healthy   restful and happy  Summer.  My  phone number  too so they,d phone me back in the time they decided.   Letters .
