Dear DKULT,

At the local Walmarth I saw this while walking in in the rain. It is my response to your photo  which is lovely.

Welcome new members! I get more MA from people I don't (yet) know than I do these days and was thrilled to get this excellent  trashpo package and notebook from Elly Dallas. It is a first!

Yes, richard's use of such a common item once again makes me feel like I'm not seeing the world with as much fluxibility as I thought.

I was happy enough to receive this alterna-packaging piece from Richard Canard HAND delivered to me by my post woman, but there was also something inside?

This mail art works on so many levels-great art, great song by the police, forever changing.my.view of the multitude of tiny liquor bottles I see from something sad anf perplexing, to potential vehicles of.conversation to those in exile. 

I could be wrong, but I feel the dialogue might be referring to the fact that Richard took the time to make this bit of trash into something meaningful, witty, and fun.

This quote sums up the compulsion to make trashpo nicely, "I didn't have.yo do it, but it was the least I could do ( or the most I could do with the least)".

Thank you Richard!
