Oh boy! I will keep a close eye out for Miles!!! How about a picture of him with my Sunday School class? The kids will freak! Or maybe my cat Tobermory. ---

oh, one more thing. **Baker** , please coordinate with **harmless** and get her address from her. We need to put her address back into the Miles rotation so that she will get him again. Hopefully USPS doesnā€™t screw things up. ---

Iā€™m worried. Is Miles supposed to have arrived by now? I check right down in the bottom of my mailbox, to see if there is a slip telling me to pick up a package, but so far no package, no slip. Please reassure me that Miles is just coming along slowly. Iā€™d hate to have him stuck in a box over Christmas. ---

:eek: Now see? Thatā€™s the problem with using a monkey instead of a bear. Monkeys are just unreliable and flighty. Bears you can always rely on. šŸ˜‰ Thank you for throwing me back in the mix. Iā€™ve got a different address to try when itā€™s my turn again. ---

**matt\_mcl** assured me in an email last night that Miles is indeed on the way. Now I need to go light a candle to ensure that the nefarious postal service doesnā€™t lose him. I will post when he arrives for Christmas in Kansas. ---

> [@Bear\_Nenno](#): > > bjklghulfdtghlvhjlgbhjlk I plead the 5th, lack of sleep or not enough caffiene. I somehow missed that!! :smack: Okay email has been sent out. I bet Miles could love to head for Texas and Arlington Stadium (Texas Rangers baseball and Cowboys), then perhaps a tour of downtown Ft Worth and get his photo taken with real longhorn cattle! We can also show him the State Fair of Texas, (although it is not running at the moment) the grounds are opened to the public all year. The fairgrounds have a lot of very cool art deco buildings. I canā€™t wait! ---

Keep your fingers crossed folks. I have a slip from the post office telling me I have a parcel to pick up! Now, I am actually expecting two different items, but the non-Miles package would have been sent cheap rate only two days ago, so itā€™s most likely the monkey that is waiting for me. I canā€™t get to the postal station for an hour and a half, , but I will post as soon as I get back! ---

I would love to have Miles come to Wabash, but if he came here, he would have to have a picture with the Monon Bell (one of the oldest football rivalry games between Wabash and DePauw). The sad problem is, though, that we lost the Bell this year. ā˜¹ So, Iā€™m debating whether I should invite him here now or hope for the best next year. Any opinions, fellow dopers? ---

I took a closer look at the slip and saw that the ā€œsenderā€™s nameā€ is mclXXXXXXX. So itā€™s Miles!!! But then I got to the postal station to pick him up, and the carrier wasnā€™t back yet. ā˜¹ I also missed seeing that the package can be picked up _tomorrow_ after 9:00AM. So I drove back to my house and drove around the streets, hoping to see the carrier again. See, when I came home the first time I drove by the carrierā€™s parked truck in the next street over. So I must have been _this close_ to Miles. :smack: I called the postal station, as I donā€™t want him to languish overnight if I can help it. In about half an hour I can call back and see if the carrier has returned to the station yet. Miles first event in Topeka will be tomorrow afternoon. He will attend the 100th birthday party of my grandmother. Iā€™ll be sure to get a picture of them together! ---
