Well done, Phineas. ( if you have the time ) I expect to see a screen play for ‘Tales of the NNE’ in short order. (Try not to cast H2O as the fellow walking in) As always ......

I remember in my early USPS days I was just returning to the work floor when I heard screaming and a mob of employees, including supervisors, running full tilt out of the cancellation room. No smoke/fire or unusual sounds, what could it be? I walked into the room and there on a letter uptake belt was a snake. It was traveling opposite to the direction that the belt was moving and going nowhere. Having watched enough ‘ Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom’ I looked closely saw no fangs and knew at best it was probably an insect eater. I gently placed my hand on its head with my thumb under the lower jaw and lifted it up. The snake, which I also believed was a common garter wrapped itself around my arm and remained calm. From a distance, as no one would come near me, I asked if I could keep it. Bureaucracy kicked in immediately. I was told I would have to fill out forms to have it released to me. I placed it in a small box and transported it home and released it into the postage stamp. The backyard was covered with a bed of English Ivy at that time. I never caught sight of it again. The snake, as a joke, was probably dumped into a regular mail box. Thank you, Uniblab for kindling a long dormant memory. As always....

Good morning Anthony. We could request Coastal Wx, of the New England forum, to arrange to have his heavy hitters perform a u tube recreation of the Broadway show Carousels rendition of ‘June is busting out all over’. Now that would make Spring a lot more interesting for many of our sub forums as well as ease our mourning for winter. As always ....
