New Year's Eve Message fr. Craig Louis Stehr in Washington, D.C.

Warmest spiritual greetings from Washington, D.C. Cloudy and cool, streets are mostly empty, buses and the Metro train have mostly empty seats. And The Yard House has 4,000 gallons of beer ready for the celebrants tonight. Everybody at the homeless shelter is visiting the local liquor stores, and the buzz about other substances has been going on since yesterday. Read The Washington Post today, oh boy. Regardless, all of the senior social service benefits have now been received! Am solid for at least the next three years. Today, ate sumptuously using the new D.C. EBT card at Whole Foods in Tenleytown (home of American University). The D.C. Medicaid membership card arrived two days ago. The SSI has been auto-deposited into the Chase checking account as of this morning; the balance will go over $5,000 when the SSA comes in. Partnership of California mailing was received yesterday, informing that I am still signed up and will receive maximum benefits, although they now mail to a D.C. address. This makes no sense to me, but apparently I am entitled to this. Please note that I will be legally a “traveller” until the D.C. driver’s license expires on my birth date in 2032. I am only legally bound to report moving, significant increase in wealth, winning the lottery, and so on and so forth. There is still no cell phone, as a result of Cricket in Ukiah, CA delisting my number because I did not make enough telephone calls. So, I threw the phone in the garbage. Anyone wishing to contact me, you are invited to either email craiglouisstehr@gmail.com, or be where I am.
