Moundsville, WV, has a little museum with a mammoth skeleton on display. Those creatures were huge.
VR: I wonder how far Moundsville is from the little piece of land I own in WV?
Red: My grandson is interested in Scuba Diving and undersea exploration. He is about to begin college studying Nature Studies (Ecology?). I wonder if this kind of exploration in Florida would interest him. My son has friends in Florida, where were these fossils found?
Diana: Living in the city is no fun either sometimes. Most recently early April I submitted my 2022 local business tax forms so as not to miss any refunds. Last month I received a letter saying I had to resubmit my 2022 form on actual barcoded 2022 paper, not the 2023 forms, with 23 crossed out and 22 hand written because I could not find the 2022 forms on line. I phoned July 14, and the lady said she would send forms “today”. I returned from a business trip Aug. 2, and found her envelope postmarked July 27. On Aug. 5 I sat down to rewrite the 4 page form. I then saw the 30 day deadline was Aug. 6, so 8/6, at age 88, I walked 6 blocks in 96 degree temp to find the post office closed at 3 pm. I also had to do business at the nearby bank, and was too tired to walk to more distant POs. Next day I phoned nearby UPS store which also has postal services. Asked if they had the forms for certified mail. They said yes and I walked only 2 blocks to mail. When they had attached the forms to envelope I owed $18, and they had not told me they charged double the PO rate. Also I had to hold the letter because next day PO would come to affix the tracking number and pick up my envelope. I am staying at a different property supervising repair work, and being at my return address was not possible, so I dropped envelope in nearest post box on street. I pray it gets there and I don’t have to do it all over again. This city is going to kill this old lady.
