I suppose nobody on here has ever made a mistake.
Things happen.
Who knows why.

Ha, an early September post, revisited briefly in January and opened up again today. And the wheel goes round an round and round. No wonder the site looks busy with so many replies. Some might like that feature, it makes no sense to me. Half the guys in the thread might be dead or at least long gone. Did it used to work that way?

I ordered a life alert last Friday. It shipped UPS yesterday. Tracking says it will be here Friday. Hope it survives the trip.

We call the Kansas Cities (there are two, and there are two USPS hubs) the Great Black Hole of the Postal Service. Packages enter, but it takes a cosmic event to get them out.
