Barry,
DS> I have to wonder. I've seen the mail carrier stop at the end of
DS> the street for at least a half hour (it's the last block on the
DS> route), and he decides to have lunch. Why couldn't he deliver the
DS> mail first??
BM> 'Cause he's hungry now! Mail delivery here has been 'all over the
BM> place': sometimes delivered around 2:30, generally between 3:30 and
BM> 4:30, sometimes as late as 6:30, occasionally later. And it's the same
BM> carrier. Could see if a substitute and does the route in reverse of
BM> the usual way, or a different pattern.
I've had mail come well after dark...and that also applies to UPS, DHL, FedEx,
etc. Now, I have stuff come to the Post Office Box, and I pick it
up at my leisure. I use the address of the Postal Facility, then what
appears to be an apartment number, but it's the P.O. Box.
BM> Yes, would make more sense to get your mail when the counter is open should
BM> you have a package. I would guess the Post Office Lobby here is also open
BM> constantly -- know there is a wall with Post Office boxes to
BM> the left; the counter is to the right. With the old Post Office it was
BM> arranged so the first room was with the mail boxes and stamp machines;
BM> go through doors which could be locked to get into the counter area.
Some days, that app is not reliable.
BM> If it's a short bleep most of the time one can figure out what was
BM> said. Oh: reminds me - some shows will bleep out the person's name in
BM> the regular audio but if one has the Closed Captioning turned on it's
BM> printed!!
Oops. I wonder if they provide the script beforehand, or if it does it
"on the fly".
DS> They'd probably sue you if they got injured.
BM> I'd tell them they need to be more concerned with paper cuts!
I've seen where one person rigged up his campaign sign with electrical
wire (shocking), and another "cut to the quick" with razor blades in the
edges. I've never seen such political vitrol as I have this year.
DS> As the late P.T. Barnum noted, "There's a sucker born every
DS> minute".
BM> Gee, I thought lollipops were created in a factory!
Lolli has more than one father?? <G>
