Post Office Follies
This afternoon, I mailed all of the packages that I have had sitting around to be mailed. Yes, some of them have been here for far too long, and for that I sincerely apologize.
Note to self: The local post office closes at 1 on Saturdays, not at 2. (At least I could get new mail from my PO Box.)
Second note to self: The staff at the big regional post office is as friendly as the staff at the local post office. Even when they have to walk you through a customs form. And an insurance form. And the ridiculous "flammable, breakable, terrorist-created?" questions, after you've explicitly said that you're mailing books. (They were actually really good - and fast.)
Third note to self: Write a story about the guy who was mailing a large white 9 x 13 envelope by pasting dozens of two cent stamps on the front of the envelope, lining each one up precisely. (The Navajo jewelry stamps are pretty - even moreso when seen in row after row after row.)
Mindy, back from successful errands (except for grocery shopping, where she could not find a parking space after driving through the entire lot three times - silly Super Bowl!)
