Welcome Fields mountain farm

Rainy, dreary, nothin' better to do - Critter went down to the post office and managed to corner the carrier. Seems she couldn't find the house (our driveway is about 150' long, and trees obscure the house from the road) so she dumped the box on a porch a block over. That took a little doing; that house is back in the woods, too. The neighbor didn't want it; they called the post office to come get it. The saga continues . . . .

well... theres good news and bad news .... good...found the box.... Bad...its BACK in the post office hands....

Seriously. I spent some time delivering pizzas back in the dawn of time, and I still can't follow the logic on this one. Right street, wrong house number I can see, but different street and only similar house number? What kind of sense does that make?

There for a while, we had an awful mail carrier... They would put the wrong mail in EVERY box. I think what they did was they just put all the mail for 1 street in a pile and just put a few in each box until they ran out... After the mail truck went away, everyone would come outside and scamper around exchanging mail... still happens every now and then...

Well, Critter's having himself a good ol' gripefest this evening. He had a package from Ebay that he's been tracking for over a week now. Supposedly, it arrived at the local Post Office during the pre-dawn hours this morning, and was delivered/picked up between 9:30 and 10:00 a.m. Here's the catch - we were home all day, and when he heard the postal carrier's truck (at a time well past 10 o'clock), he went out to check the mailbox to see if there was a card to go get the package. No card, no time for someone to have removed it from the box - according to the tracking, the package had already been picked up by then. He suspects a glitch in the system and the package is still at the Post Office - I sure hope he's right.

That's terrible!
