I kinda noticed I'm only getting mail every other day. Interesting development.

Congressman now involved.

Won't be long before She Jack realizes she can get some air time.

Worried may affect primary in March.

Don't worry. They'll be sure to get all the democrat mail ballots delivered promptly.

During college I took the exam for the post office. Part A was take 5 minutes to study a grid of 5 boxes each containing a mix of 5 names or addresses. Then turn the page and for each given entry mark which box it was in, A-E. Part B was compare information given and mark which item is different, A-D or E all the same. Differences were very subtle with a single number or letter change or perhaps all Rd except one Dr. Small college town so I knew the postmaster. I took my score and asked her about it as I wasn't sure if it was percentage, number correct or what. I had a 97. She looks and says "I didn't know you were a veteran.". I said I wasn't and she said veterans get 15 points added. I was foolish and put down I wanted to work as a clerk in our small office rather than take an opening in Houston to get started. My score expired before I was called. Anyway, it was interesting and could have been a good career if I'd been smarter at the time.

Boise, Idaho!

Off topic, my dad's widow has family in Vernon and talks about a great place to eat up there.

We had the same "late arrival" issue. My local PO said there was some mechanical disaster in Missouri City causing Friendswood mail to just sit. We finally got delivery 9 days late.
