Off to the post office very soon now

Snow in the sky, soon to be on the wings of the crows and on my deck...

they tell us we'll have a couple inches of snow today, hooray. Ought to be pretty. One of the worst things about having a winter's worth of snow thawing to the ground is that there's also a winter's worth of dirt, dust, sand, soot, leaves, blown-paper, seed hulls, and bird-stuff among it. A reprieve is fine.

I'm going to be warming up the Subaru RSN for a quick morning trip to town. The Sube's headlight transplant was a success and the tire rotation was thrown in for free; the oil change .... was not gratis. On the other hand, we're set for spring a few weeks early.


The email log jam we experienced lat night is apparently over and I have on hand ten or fifteen real emails on the "where's my book" topic. I'm hoping that'll solve some of the half-dozen "moved -- no forwarding order" and "Undeliverable as addressed" things tucked in a box in the basement. The scary thing is that we've had a number of things come back with "Undeliverable as addressed" that have gone to the same address we've been using for people for more than ten years -- and they haven't moved.

More maybe in a bit, after we see what the PO Box brings.

Tomorrow, plans include a Janis Ian concert!

It's possible (but not too likely) that you'll find a box from me waiting at the post office today.

Wasn't there when I was in, but they *did not* have the "all box mail is up" sign in place.

[klingonguy.livejournal.com]

No worries. Maybe next time.

Where the hell is Janis Ian concert?

[rolanni.livejournal.com]

Chocolate Church, tomorrow, 7:30.

[jhetley.livejournal.com]

That's in Bath, yes? Or Brunswick? Doesn't exist...

[rolanni.livejournal.com]

Bath.

Does too exist.

Would involve driving coastal Route 1 in the dark. Or whatever back roads over from I-95. No can do.

[kinzel.livejournal.com]

From The North --

I-95 to I-295 to start...

295 down to Brunswick-Topsham (exit 31?)

then about 8 miles on Rt 1

The undeliverable as addressed issue is sometimes a bit random. My parents have lived at the same location for over 5 years, and a box to my Mom (from me) came back. The address was entirely correct. And geeze, it's my Mom - I know where she lives. So I resent it with delivery confirmation this time, and it was delivered immediately.

I do the monthly calendar/newsletter for my SF club - it's currently going to about 180 addresses. I never count an address as dead until I get two bounces in a row - I'll get at least one returned every couple of months that should have gone through.

I was rather amused the month that they bounced my copy!

they bounced my copy!

Now that's a novel way to make sure you never miss an issue!
