| We have the same problem here in HI, but it's not restricted to

chance of

mail from

ask
| Dean! Things get delayed up to 2 months, and I still haven't gotten
a
| piece I was expecting from Eduardo back in May (no reflection on
him, I'm
| sure.) To sum up, there DOES seem to be a backlog in the Post
Office, and
| we should live in fear and loathing as to what might happen when the
Yule
| season rolls around.

| Matteo, what holidays happen in August that might confuse the Post
| Office? I thought Hawaii was the weird one, celebrating Admissions
Day!

| Aloha!
