The Board

We had an email address for years. It cost money every month and it received, by our count, four messages. Two of those were about the extended warranty on a vehicle neither of us owns.

So we took it out back. In its place: a board. You write something, it goes up, we read it the next time we're out there. If it's worth answering we'll answer it in red marker, right on your note, like God intended. If it isn't, it stays up anyway. That's how boards work.
