   Ugh! Babbitt was a required read in my high school English lit class – I don’t think I made it past the first chapter (probably not even the first couple pages.) Obviously, I did not do well on the test. Grapes of Wrath was also required – muddled through that one. Other crappy stories we had to read – The Bridge of San Luis Rey. Best One? The Andromeda Strain. (I had already read that one prior to the class just because I like science fiction.)

   Wow! I have heard similar stories about our local PO. A friend lives in a rural area and one day I happened to be there at the same time the carrier drove up – she said she actually was a carrier for a town 20 miles away but was filling in cause the regular route driver for my friend’s area had quit. I know at one time clerks had to pass a civil service test in order to be hired, but sadly, that is no longer a requirement.

   When I was younger, we could almost guarantee when our mail would be delivered (unless the regular carrier was sick & a substitute had to fill in.) Now, we never know when the carrier will show up. Fortunately, USPS now offers informed delivery and we can get an email showing what’s to be expected.

   Sounds like USPS from several years ago. Now it seems like I’m lucky to get any mail at all and delivered to who knows where.

   If I complain about other people’s postings and offer unwarranted opinions, then pass away, would I die a critic?

   Didn’t know that’s what the horns were called – learned something new today (which I will probably, promptly forget as I don’t usually see giraffes.

   If the shoe fits……. / The IT Dept. will have pretty big shoes to fill if they ever quit their jobs.

   I think it would be okay to say “Here’s the bag containing your burritos” or “here’s your order of burritos” but that’s stretching it.

   I’ve got a lovely bunch of coconuts. There they are, all standing in a row.

    But be really, really afraid if they say their name if HAL.
