so in todays mail, the post office delivered the black friday ads…. i knew the decatur post office was insanely slow on the inside and have realized over the past few years that any mail takes an extra day or two to get to my house (even though i’m just a few streets over from the post office), but this is hilarious.

granted, if I had a delorean, I could use all of these ads and go hit some sales, but since it’s past black friday/saturday, this stack of ads is useless. my neighbors got the ads today as well.

interestingly, i’ve noticed depending on the driver of the post office van, if it’s the usual driver, i get the mail between 6pm-7pm, in some cases closer to 730pm. about 4-5 times a month it’s a different driver (but this one has been the “alternate” for about a year or so now) and when the alternate driver is on the route, i get the mail by 12-1 each day.

Spent the holiday in Maui and it has been heavenly. Sipped on Mai Tai’s and devoured pie from a local bakery…perfect!

Grateful to be boots on the ground in another part of the country, though we love Decatur.

Sunday beer sales here, too!

Thanks, DM, for providing this venue.

Thanksgiving with the in-laws was just fine and I managed to get a latte before Caribou Coffee closed for the day. So life is good….

I’m thankful for this blog, both as a social tool and as a facilitator of community transparency.
