    3" x 3' would be simultaneously undersized and oversized! Probably a postal employee would explode when seeing it in the drop box.

    Yesterday I sent out 4. None today.

    Though you could use it to turn the mailbox into one of those snakes in a can. The unsuspecting postal worker pulls the door open and out springs a yard of letter. Sounds like something for a special day in April.

    Apologies to all my pen pals ... my letters are going out at a much reduced pace. I'm dealing with some vision loss issues that appear to be both permanent and perhaps ongoing.
    Next week I see a Neuro-Ophthalmologist (never even knew there was such a critter) to have my optic nerve damage explained and further investigated.
    I love to write letters so be assured that I have not given up ....

    It has been a couple of days since I got a letter (no worries, I have plenty to choose from) and a few more since I was able to send one. Today I get back on the board with one out going, all 4,232 words of it.

    None in today. I'm starting to think the postal gods are holding Silver's letter hostage to teach me patience. Several out tomorrow with some action shots from the field (and explanations on said action shots, because without them it just looks like a very square hole and some rocks).

    Actually some of the mailroom kids do hate me. I get about 2-5 letters a week and apparently I have vastly more letters than the other students. It's a work study position and they are a touch miffed that my letters require them to go find my mailbox. THe mailroom is mostly used for packages and amazon prime orders for the international students.... and textbooks. Beyond that they don't do all that much. Unless I get mail that day!

    Prepping mail to go out today with archaeology action shots, handmade envies, and new stamps that are *almost* too pretty to send. Had to fight some serious hoarding instincts when applying them to the envies.
    Also, sharpies that I used to write on pics are covering some of the stamps so as not to traumatize the lovely vertolive due to some admittedly fierce looking clowns.
