I just received a Christmas card in the mail. Since I didn't sign up this year, I thought it was just a nice pea sending me one although it did seem a tad early. Then I looked at the postmark: Nov 24, 2017! Yep it took almost one year for tuesdaysgone 's card to arrive at my house. So, belatedly, thanks for the Christmas card!  |

What!? Wow - if that card could talk, I'd love to hear what it has to say about the past year.

"found in supposedly empty equipment" is my guess as a former-lots-of-years postal worker.
they have/had a (ink) stamp for that.

It may have been sent to wrong place with mis-sprayed barcode. If left on it may go back/wrong again. Or it may have been right barcode but human probably marked out just in case. (I don't read barcode- lol) |

I know!It really was funny when I first opened it and thought *well, that's kind of odd to send Christmas cards when Halloween was just last night!* I was so glad to finally figure out it was from LAST year so I wouldn't have to be whispering about you in the dinner tribe.  |

I was just telling my sister-in-law tonight that I wondered how many people did not get my cards. We have terrible mail service now since they send our mail two hours away and then back again. It takes three days for the neighbor across the street to get their mail from me---IF they get it.
