Neither snow nor rain...
In early October I mailed my rent check like a good tenant. A little later in October I received a letter asking where my rent was. “Oh, they’ll get it soon enough,” said I to myself.
The day before Halloween my landlord called, saying they had received the check that very day, postmarked October 6th. “Curious.”
“Yes,” replied the landlord. “It’s destroyed. Can you send double rent for November?”
I did. They returned my check “for my records,” which I took to mean here.
I accept your apologies, PO. I don’t wish to malign all government services, but juxtaposed with the President’s “my health care plan will succeed just like the Post Office” comment, I find my mail being delivered in a body bag…disquieting.
But at least we know they care.
