For whatever its worth to anyone (besides me) my son sent me a package from AR containing something from their recent trip to MN. After it was mailed he took a photo of the receipt with the tracking number on it, so I could track it.
I did. Yesterday, USPS.com said the package was in Henderson and would be delivered by 2000. The mail has been so late the last two months with all the campaign “post cards (ENORMOUS)” that mail hasn’t been getting here until sometimes as late as 1600. So I decided to wait until this morning to check for the package.
HAH! All of a sudden, USPS.com says the package is still in transit and would be delivered “at a later time.” I actually was able to catch the carrier when she was finishing up with her delivery, and she handed me the mail. There was the package I was expecting. Except that there were only 15 digits of the possible 20+ left on the package. It looked as if someone had tried to rip off the tracking number. For whatever reason.
At any rate, I took a pic of it and sent it to my son. We both laughed. But it was not a good feeling to think that someone could tear off the numbers that way.
The package was actually a small padded mailer and the item inside was a fridge magnet in the shape of the state of Minnesota. I told him it was now on the fridge between Dick and Jane and a Bhuddist temple in Singapore...
I’m glad you received your refrigerator magnet. I’ve never had one from Minnesota.
