USPS to USPS to USPS to USPS...

 Heidy-Ho, Blogging Buddies!!

Well... as you all know, it has been so hot there has really been no "fun" stuff to do outside for quite a while.  Our town has limited irrigation systems use as well as giving the days you can use yours depending on whether your house number is positive or negative.  Sad.  Totally understand but it's still sad.  Those who have yards without shade now have brown grass.  And it isn't going to improve for a while.

Alrighty!  Now then... there have been a few orders we have placed that have taken a while to arrive.  Nearly all have been shipped via USPS (Not UPS... USPS).  I have had a few orders that made me laugh when I saw the tracking history.  A recent order finally arrived... and I just felt like the Tracking History was hilarious... and something worth posting about.  Start at the bottom of the Tracking History below and you will see the route taken.

Pre-Shipment Info Sent to USPS, USPS Awaiting Item


Now then... it appears the shipment had some need to spend a whole lotta' time in the Dallas/Fort Worth area!!  It left Ohio on July 13th at 5:19 a.m. and made it all the way to Dallas that same day at 8:28 p.m.!!  You would THINK it would have made the last + 80 miles to Waco the next day, right?  Nope.  Wandered around the north Texas area FOUR WHOLE DAYS before making its way south for that last little run.  LOL!!  Cracks me up!!  If you ever believed the USPS had a logical way to run, perhaps you will reconsider that now?

So... that's about all I have to share.  Spending so much time inside a house while having to keep the blinds/curtains closed to keep the heat from jumping in... well... it gets kinda' boring.  Only so much TV that is of any interest at all.  Can't spend all day on a computer.  The few games on the Fire Pad are only worth a short amount of time.  Sigh.  Have ended up beginning to clear things out that have been around and unused for so long, it's past time.  LOL!!

Hang in there, my friends!!  Learn how to stay reasonably cool without spending a gazillion dollars for your electrical bills.  Whew!  Have been setting 80 degrees all day with 77 degrees overnight.  Hoping I don't have to bump either of those up any more!  YIKES!!!

Until next post...
