Why it exists

only_in_note Most of this account is notes, so "only in a note" is the normal case. The ones the questions lean on: previous addresses with dates and old landlords; references, emergency contacts and income; bank routing and account numbers (four bare lines); what the landlord said about the deposit; Miso's chicken problem; where his SSN card and birth certificate physically are; the penicillin rash; his glasses prescription; his rates; the car's oil; the Trek's frame serial; the iPad's serial (a three-word note); and the car's mileage, which exists only as readings jotted in five notes, the newest 153,208 on 2026-08-29.

Story, 2025-08-16: His Surly is stolen from the back stairwell. The renters claim pays $380. He builds up an old Trek in its place.
