Just like Christmas magic the USPS delivery person delivered mine.

I’m waiting ‘til Christmas Day.

I wouldn't want you to be misled.

I appreciate that, thanks for the detail! I had no idea it was part of the master and commander series, which is absolutely up my alley, and been on my long list of things to read, so it’s getting bumped up a few notches. No fear of the genre leap here.

@aquadoc also appreciated. I see the point you were making with the depth and potential difficulty beginning for newcomers. I had no trouble getting into Malazan, and the historical aspect of sailing and survival appeals greatly to me so, I’m encouraged more than deterred.

I have never had an issue with the USPS until the current postmaster general took over. He completely screwed the USPS and all of us at the same time. It is criminal. There is no justification for his ordering the destruction of the newly modernized sorting equipment.

The whole thing smacks of political retribution. By that I mean postal union sabotage. You read it hear first.

So, to add to this shitty year,,,, I just tested positive for COVID. Maybe I should open my present now and smoke up before I lose my sense of taste.

I blame the Illuminati, the Masons, and the Trilateral Commission

Hold on there now.
The Trilateral Commission has nothing to do with this.
Not sure about the other two.

 

[ashdigger]

Do I have to remind people of the war between the North and the South? I mean why is Santa from the North Pole, is there a subliminal message here?

Why doesn’t the South Pole have a jolly fellow, midgets and Artiodactyla?

I sense a conspiracy bigger than candy canes at the Magic Forest.

Knowing multiple postman(women too) (including 2 cousins), I know that your statement is false. The postmaster general threw sorting into a nightmare with the equipment fiasco and set the USPS back 3 decades. There has been political pressure to break up the USPS and farm it out to private firms. The postal workers are working their asses off and through a pandemic to keep their jobs.

Yes and I apologize. Not what this thread should be about....at all.

 

[3rdguy]

My package arrived and is sitting right out in front of the tree. Tomorrow or Christmas Day opening awaits...

 

[rmpeeps]

I was negligent in signing up this year, so I chose my own victim.
Yep, USPS was not a great idea this year, so I arraigned a face-to-face.
Merry Christmas to Mr. Fez!!
