USPS

I received some mail today which reminds me of my ongoing adventures and fun with the postal service.



College: Favorites included forwarding mail to people who moved out of the house....including catalogues to Washington and junk mail International. I never found out if the junk mail got forwarded, but the catalogues made it fine to Washington State.

Just after college: I found one of those little vinegar/baking soda joke packets which pop when you activate them. Someone had left this in one of my college rooms; I mailed it back to him. I heard the mail arrived an "odd" color and crusty. The packet didn't survive the mail.....whooops.

Moving around town and receiving other peoples mail I learned how to write "Return to sender" on mail. The latest hijinks include "Return to Sender" on mail addressed to "Smart Shopper" and "Responsible Driver." Once I accidentally missed the "or current resident" on the mail and tried to return it......that mail came back with the "Current Resident" circled.

Today's episode. I mailed some mood rings that a friend had left in Portland to them.....supposedly the rings survived the mail, but the envelope/packaging did not. Laughing at the comments I got back on my mailing habits.......

A historical night; first time in nearly a decade that I won't be seeing a series movie in my repertoire on opening night. Likely go after my folks leave......no rush, there's no group of friends here in Honolulu I can attempt to gather to wait in line for hours with anyhow.....
