Hello Count and the List!

Stuff like this happens from time to time.

I am in the middle of a research project where meteorite samples are going
every which way. One of them, sent off for a thin section, was "not
delivered" for unknown reasons and then it went into a USPS loop, bouncing
between Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Phoenix and it seems like it may never
end. I was worried I may never see that one again. The USPS system is an
excellent system until something out of the ordinary happens, then their
network simply falls apart.
This one finally resolved itself and I finally got it back....but I sure was
sweating bullets over it. USPS simply refuses to take ownership of these
issues when they occur. After several trips to the local office, after
filing a formal compliant, only then was it resolved.

Stuff happens.
