You weren't there. I guess I'm still looking. It's okay, you would have hated this place. People are all grey and unfriendly. You always did like bright colors. And friends. 

       I'm long gone now. No use staying where I'm not wanted. Saw some kind of wild dog tracks a while back, hope I don't run into the maker. Y'know, maybe I'm overusing the phrase 'a while back'. I'm starting to notice that. I should figure up a substitute. You'd have a field day, you used to live doing this sort of thing.

    I found an ace of diamonds in the dirt when I was making camp. A bit more hunting turned up a three of spades and a jack of clubs. Maybe I can collect up a full set, play a game of solitaire. 

   A patchwork deck of cards. 

  I like that. You can apply a phrase like that to anything. Life. People. Politics.

   I'm going to sleep now. Good night, I hope wherever you are, you've got a real bed.
