Wow, eh? The US Postal Service found this too difficult to deliver. Apparently it didn't like the handwritten first "e" in Nadine's last name. This came back today and I'm still laughing:

See, after studying it for 42 minutes, I noticed their circle around "Wendell." There must be hundreds of Nadines at #209: 

And then discovered the 99% indecipherable "undeliverable" at the lower left: 

USPS:  I will try harder, I swear.

Looks like David rated higher than we did on Nadine's notification list, but then, he's enchantment-causing, so what can we expect. As for Johnny, well he's dead, he can't talk back to Nadine, and we all know what a control freak she is.

that happened to me too with Nadine at the Blix st address.  Apparently LA mail people are smoking too much herbage.  Nadine hasn't even given me her new address!!!  I'm shocked, horrified, and hurt.  What does Johnny have that I don't have?

Ana, ha--very funny! Not long ago all arrived to her fine, but apparently they're not forwarding. I always liked writing Blix Street too, darn her, but who can blame her for wanting to be closer to THE star of late night no matter what anyone says. BG, yes, I'd love to trade. There aren't a ton of them but I'd definitely trade for some Smokey the Bears.

I got an envelope back today, too (to a different person). I swear it looked like it said "WTF" right above the address, but after zooming in and enhancing I realized it is "UTF" - Unable to Forward. Much better than when I thought they were critiquing my mail art.

I, for one, will miss sending mail to Blix Street

Hey Nancy, Nadine has a new address...she moved to Burbank to be closer to Johnny Carson....

Well, I'd say it is deliverable!  Nice old stamps, I've got some 20 cent Smokey The Bear if you want to trade.
