My
Rambling Thoughts
Quiet
Sunday. Nice day for a short walk.
Sunday
morning news shows gave good info on the virus. All about
precautions. Southwest airlines sent me an email. They are taking
precautions also. I fly them to Denver and back in a few weeks. I'm
ready to fly, just have to wait for the right days.
I
failed at trying to do my newspaper hold for my trip this morning.
At the newspaper, the long voice menu said they were open 8a-12N on
Sunday, but when I tried, they said 'please call back during our
business hours'. The paper website will not let do vacation hold that
is longer than 2 weeks. So I'll try again tomorrow. I succeeded in
doing the mail hold, but have to drop off the form at the PO as
instructed by the local supervisor. They can't read the hold from the
USPS website. Strange.

police break into the room. In the middle of the room there is a dead
man hanging from the ceiling, with his shoes 3 feet off the ground.
The only other thing in the room is a hammer lying in a puddle of
water. Can you explain what happened?
