Sorry! Yes - I got my person and have acquired my stuff. Waiting on one more object and should have it sent post haste! ---

Been a curious day. The whole office (in Sydney, Australia) had that subdued “death in the extended family” atmosphere. The Boss, not a man to suffer fools gladly, observed that he was as if not more upset that Trump won as he had been when his beloved Sydney Swans had been badly belted in the AFL Grand Final last month. Then some UK based swindler tried to put a charge onto my credit card. It tripped my banks fraudulent transaction protocols so the expense has been blocked, which is good. Along with the card which is ungood, as it needs to be reissued and will take a couple of days. Lucky I don’t need groceries or utility bills paid in that period. Then there was a localised rain squall just as I got home which means this mornings load of washing needs to stay in the clothes line another 24 hours. But, but, **BUT** on the patio waiting for me is a well packed box from Brookfield, IL. Hey, I’ve been there. Even recognise the name, let alone the nick. Thank you @kenobi_65 ! Contents include a Chicago city skyline shot glass and bottle opener, a Green Bay Packers shareholder shot glass which will make at least one colleague weep with rage and a cheesehead coaster to rub the taunt in further. 🙃 Excellent items and invoking poignant memories of a long road trip and a perfectly cromulent microDopefest in the middle. The Packers glass is christened with Buffalo Trace as I type. Done well, son! PT ---

I have just received a great package from the Oregon Coast! Some very nice Oregon shotglasses, a great (and surprisingly timely, as I had just lost mine) bottle opener, a toothpick case, some awesome keychains, fridge magnet, and some sweets that I am going to be positively wrecking soon. Thanks, @Lancia! I should be getting mine finely out the door this weekend, have one more stop to make! ---

I did send mine out, and I only got one gift. Bit of a mixup. ---

And Kansas is heard from! **Shoeless** dispatched a cornucopia of Jayhawk delights: two shot glasses (the original Jayhawk mascot and a truly bitchin’ shot glass from the White Star Line found in his FIL’s house.) Plus some fridge magnets (the Everest one I’m taking to heart), a desktop “Build Your Own” Stonehenge and he doen’t know it yet but a very nice Armenian brandy to christen the glasses with. Thanks, **Shoeless**! I haven’t been back to Kansas since we sold the old family homestead years ago. Brings back some memories. ---

> [@silenus](#): > > Plus some fridge magnets (the Everest one I’m taking to heart) Just to elaborate on this, the magnet has a picture of Everest with the caption “All of those dead bodies on Mt. Everest were once highly motivated people. So maybe just calm down.” Glad you finally got the box @silenus. Last time I checked tracking (over the weekend) it was still “in transit” and “scheduled to arrive later than expected”. ---
