Canada Post vs USPS

Shawshank, May 22, 2021

Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.

I wish Canada Post was like this. It snows 4 inches and there’s a note at the post office saying No mail deliver today…. Sorry.

Case in point. I think that I sent Crystal a package basically at the same time as she sent one to me. The package I sent to her is out for delivery. OUT FOR DELIVERY. The one she sent me has been sitting in CaptialCity – next province over for two days. It’s sitting there like a scared kitten in a basement. Frozen, not moving.

In the past I’ve watched a package sent to me, get to CaptialCity in my province, sit there, and the go to the next province over, then come back to my province to be sent to my town.

And, NO MAIL DELIVERY ON SATURDAYS. It just shuts down here. Don’t even get me started on text or email updates here. They offer email updates. It doesn’t work. I’ve tried.

Well, at least Crystal will be able to enjoy the greatness that is Hanch today. That’s what matters! And she can destroy something beautiful – a donated Twilight book for one of her gorgeous wreaths!

With a Pippin on my lap, we’ve started a new day. It’s a rainy one out there. But if it’s not snow, I’m not too annoyed by it. The farmers will say we need the rain, so I guess we need the rain. I don’t need the rain. But I’ll…

Don’t act like you ain’t help me pull that bottle off the shelf

When I went down for my nap. It wasn’t as bright as this. It was gray, with just the hints of the sun coming out. The only thing that’s been consistent, is the wind. It’s always the wind. After a weekend of being able to sleep in, when the alarm…
