    Default Today was not a good day to be A US Postman

    I picked up my mail around noon. Due to the extended federal holiday, both New Years & President Fords' funeral, there was so much I almost had to make two trips. Poor KukriKhan must have had to visit his chiropractor after work today.

    At least the stores don't send out the huge 30 lb catalogs anymore.

    I got home from work last night and took the dogs for a walk. The Posties were still delivering in my neighborhood at 8:30pm. Must have been a rough day...

    Noon? Is this the first delivery?

    Ja mata, TosaInu. You will forever be remembered.

    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

    He/she is a licensed, but not medical, back (spine) doctor (small "d"). Some in the medical community regard them as phonies, but many postal carriers swear by them - including little 5'1" Mrs. Kukri (also a posty), who visits hers every other week. Those fully-loaded 70-lb. mail satchels can wear one out pretty quickly.

    Wednesday WAS quite a heavy day (12 hours; 8 on-the-street). Beer tasted really good after that day.

    Thanks for the sympathies.
    Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.
