When: Standing fact; frame 11/7 (I.-Day Eve) YDAU.
What: Mario is "more or less the Incandenza family archivist ex officio," keeping Hush Puppy shoeboxes of tri-folded letters, snapshots, and mementos he has rescued from wastebaskets, recycling bins, and dumpsters and quietly saved (Hal goes through one such shoebox with Mario's blessing; Mario's closet has a canvas strap for a knob and his bed is loosely, unanally made).
