I have never had such a time sending a package.

"Do you have the package!? Where's the package!?"*

* A funny reference if you saw last night's 24 :)

Don't worry about a thing, Gretchen. I know what it's like trying to get a package in the mail when it seems like everyone and everything is conspiring against you.

But that Apple Strudel bread better be the best thing I've ever tasted or I'll be very disappointed--LOL ;)

"24" is too intense for me so I am ignorant of the package reference last night.

To add misery to wretchedness, the roads got even more treacherous today, due to snow and ice. It's a skating rink out there. But I have a friend who is planning to drop the box off on Thursday on the way to or from work.

There was a pathetically hilarious video on TV, shot in Portland from the roof of an apartment building by a teacher who kept hearing metal-on-metal crashes. He caught this poor slob's vehicle sliding and spinning and crashing into one thing after another. I saw the portion where the car slid into something on the right side of a four-way intersection, then slid across the street into a pole, which took off part of the back fender, then it slid kitty-corner across the intersection into a barrier, taking out the left headlight, then it slid backwards down the street into a packet of three or four other vehicles. It was slow-motion horror for the driver, no doubt. Oh what a helpless feeling! The car looked like the silver ball in pinball machines. The fire department put a truck in that area to block access, and then two cars slid into it.

It's supposed to stay like this for a while.
