Subj : piano, LPs, Clive Cussler To : Daryl Stout From : Barry Martin Date : Fri Oct 09 2020 12:16:00 Hi Daryl! BM> Over the years I have had a few day delays from UPS but has also either BM> due to nasty weather or truck issue, and was notified via e-mail (I am BM> signed up for notifications). And to be fair the other way, I have had BM> deliveries at 8 and 9 at night. DS> Now, if weather is an issue, I can understand it...but if not, 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?? 'Cause he's hungry now! Mail delivery here has been 'all over the place': sometimes delivered around 2:30, generally between 3:30 and 4:30, sometimes as late as 6:30, occasionally later. And it's the same carrier. Could see if a substitute and does the route in reverse of the usual way, or a different pattern. BM> Find it too difficult when they're closed, hmmm? doors: "Let me in!!" > DS> Actually, I can check my Post Office Box 24/7/365...but I don't DS> like to get out after dark. Plus, if it's too big to get in the DS> P.O. Box, I get a card notice, and have to pick it up at the DS> counter. They're open 8am to 5pm Monday through Friday, and only DS> 10am to 1pm on Saturday (closed from 1pm Saturday to 8am Monday). DS> If the day is a US holiday, they're closed that day as well. With DS> Christmas and New Years on Friday this year, that means a long DS> weekend. Yes, would make more sense to get your mail when the counter is open should you have a package. I would guess the Post Office Lobby here is also open constantly -- know there is a wall with Post Office boxes to the left; the counter is to the right. With the old Post Office it was arranged so the first room was with the mail boxes and stamp machines; go through doors which could be locked to get into the counter area. The new Post Office has no separation between areas and there are cards, boxes, etc., for sale on the counter side. BM> Censoring the profanity is fine IMO; the TV segment edited things so it BM> was more like Sparkle Poof 0.3, DS> YouTube had the bleep, but you could figure out what it was. :P If it's a short bleep most of the time one can figure out what was said. Oh: reminds me - some shows will bleep out the person's name in the regular audio but if one has the Closed Captioning turned on it's printed!! DS> ... To Post Office: "Photos - Don't Bend", isn't a challenge. BM> Simple: slip a steel sheet in the envelope! DS> They'd probably sue you if they got injured. I'd tell them they need to be more concerned with paper cuts! BM> Good! Hate to have your Microsoft Warranty expire, your car coverage BM> slip, your Social Security Number be void.... DS> As the late P.T. Barnum noted, "There's a sucker born every DS> minute". Gee, I thought lollipops were created in a factory! ¯ BarryMartin3@ ® ¯ @MyMetronet.NET ® ....
