What a beautiful piece of writing. Thank you for finding and sharing.

There was a recent New Yorker article about the radio message service that helps people in remote Patagonian villages communicate. The article was sweet and a little sad, but if you aren't a New Yorker subscriber, at the link below there are a few short documentaries and examples/photos of some of the messages that have been broadcast over the years. I didn't know anything about this part of Patagonian culture and thought it was fascinating.
