That would be WC1. There is already a WC here. Keep up cord dagnabit. 😉
Dang it WC, I forgot to put 1998, sorry my brother!!!!! I will ban myself for two minutes!!!!! In mail time that is two weeks!!!!
Just talked to another post master and this one may be better that It's not lost, just hasn't got there yet
This one said, We are telling everyone two day priority may be two weeks priority!!!!

Wow, you almost called it in your earlier post.
And without Joe Burrow.
Thanks Mr. Rooster, that was great!!!!

It is a whopping 79 miles.
I ain’t started yet. But it’s only Tuesday. Got plenty of time 😮
Bert I called your post office today, she wasn't very co-cooperative at all!!!!!
Gettin defensive eh? Well, defense wins, even if you can’t get offensive, err, I mean offense don’t matter, err. 😴
The D will have to forgive me for all this mail rant!! It's just I have made something special for Mr. Bert out of stained glass and I am just getting antsy!!!! I have never shipped any glass and it just seems like the longer it "in Route to the next place" as they say, the more it's handled and thrown around!!! May have to go with UPS next time!!!
Oh yawl did hear Fed-Ex is buying UPS didn't you!! Going to change the name to Fed-UP!!!!

Yes BC, ALL MAILERS MATTER!!!!!
I was talking about the post office getting defensive, sorry, didn’t articulate very well lol.
I'm sure that since it is 2 day delivery, and it has been so long, the Post Office will gladly make restitution.
They are still filling out ballots so delivering real mail is on hold for another week or so. They have to get those votes to Georgia and Miss Abrams, there is an election on January 5th.
That’s an awesome pictureThe Christmas Star taken in Virginia
Good morning D, what a view of the CHRISTMAS STAR or Jupiter and Saturn! We had about 10 or 12 show up last night, then had subs sammmmmmmishes afterwards, great night with friends!!!
Mrs. M would like to thank whoever it was for posting the meme about 8675309, says everything else is ok, but just can't get the image of the 3 out of her mind!!!!!!![[roll]](http://l.yimg.com/j/assets/img/emoticons/classic/roll.r191677.gif "roll [roll]")
Got to make some more glass ornaments today for my grandyounnnnings, they all want different colors and I am going to put their initials on each one.
I hope the D, has a great day and prayers for the D!!!
Day 9 of where's the package? I have been wondering if it took the Pony Express 8 days to get from Central City to Smith's Grove?!!! BUT I just have to remember what the POST MASTER told me, " IT'S NOT LOST, IT'S JUST NOT THERE YET!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Conestoga wagon could make it in 3 days.
Yes sir Mr. Ben they re probably trying to find me right now so they can give me my money back! Only thing is I just hope they don't mail it to me!!
Wasn't yelling at you BC, just trying to be funny. Everything good in the D!
Do any of the D have traditional meals for Christmas Eve. We have a special meal every year after we go to church for our candlelight service. We have 3 services 1) 3:00 2) 4:30 and 3) 6:00. We usually go to the second one which gives us a little time to prepare our Christmas Eve meal.
Our meal is the same every year and has been for as long as I can remember. I make a very simple oyster stew and we serve it with toasted Cuban bread with plenty of butter. I also make a cream of potato soup if one does not want oysters. I just substitute potatoes and bacon for the oysters.
I go to the seafood market and pick up a fresh shucked oysters. No canned ones or frozen. They have to be fresh, right out of the shell. The recipe is very simple with basic ingredients. It is important to include the liquid from the oysters. This is per serving.

Oh a P.S. to the above
We serve a very nice relish tray with the oyster stew and summer sausage, pepperoni, cold cuts and a large assortment of cheeses. It makes a nice meal.

I absolutely love those kind of foods. I’m only maybe 12 hours from you, y’all welcome strangers?Do any of the D have traditional meals for Christmas Eve.

Bring your half and half to a near boil (don't boil) and add oysters and butter. Remove from heat and let is set until the oysters curl and are cooked. That only takes a minute or so.

Just returned from a brisk, 2-mile walk in under 40 minutes.
Life is good.

Your car break down?
You would not be a stranger in my home. I guarantee you the minute you walked through the door we could start talking to each like we have known one another for a long, long time.
Ask Bert. He can tell you. We have never met but talk on the phone for an hour like old ladies. People on the D League have a common bond and that comes across in each post.
So Come In Stranger
My wife is calling me for Movie Time. She picked out The Bishops Wife. Don't tell her, but I had a major crush on Loretta Young growing up as a boy so I can't wait.
Popping some corn and away we go.

This is the first time in years that we will not go to my sister's house for Christmas eve. We usually have smoked ham, meatballs, shrimp, etc. She has not been that well, and we certainly don't want to get her sick.
I always said that if I came back in another life, I would want to look like Cary Grant, or Robert Redford.
Sent a priority mail envelope to my daughter in N. Georgia last Thursday. Was told it would be there yesterday (Monday). OK, not 2 day but I understand the Christmas rush. Still not there and last tracking update is the same as it was Sunday showing it's in Chatanooga.
I'm sure USPS as well as UPS changes delivery routes, etc often (as needed), but it seems like USPS has totally changed theirs. Over all the years I've shipped things from here to there, it's never taken more than 2 days....which I always thought was amazing. It would go from my small town P.O. to a larger town P.O. then to the airport where it would go to Atlanta, and then by truck to N. Georgia. Now....it went from our P.O. to the larger P.O, and the next tracking was Cincy, then Chatanooga. I got something from just south of Atlanta a couple weeks ago and it was the same....followed I-75 all the way North.

Bert is pretty long-winded.
But, he is very easy to talk to. Great folks. After you get to know most of the folks on the D, it is like you have known them forever. You know about their families, their likes and dislikes, their ailments, and just about everything else about them.
I want to be Jeff Bezos....$$$$$$ Then I can get the girl as well.
I believe that 100 percent. You can tell when people are sincere, if you are raised right. And I was. And the same to you Sawnee. You’re ever in southern Kentucky and want or need anything, holler. I’m near deaf, but I’ll answer.

No, not this time. Great exercise. Back up to 4 miles/day. Plan on hitting 6/day after the new year.
Since I started working from home, I’ve been walking more than the Israelites out of Egypt - a hike before work when I would have been riding the subway, one after lunch then one when I’d have been commuting home. That’d be obsessive if there was anything else to do, but otherwise I’d be sitting in a home office 12 hours a day.
