I keep hearing little metallic noises issuing from the back yard.

After several lousy rounds with Petco over slow deliveries, I discovered Chewy is so much better. Only, now that I've decided no more 40-lb cartons of litter, I need to purchase the Arm & Hammer multi-cat litter in smaller cartons.  The only problem is, Chewy didn't carry the 20=lb cartons, and Petco does.  On Sunday, I ordered two 20-lb cartons from Petco. They sent me an email saying my order was on the way and including a UPS tracking number. Well, there's a problem. My shipm,ent has been sitting in a Petco space waiting for UPS pickup since Tuesday. I checked the tracking this morning: still not picked up.

I will never order form Petco again.

The week before JOSEPH opened, I decided to clean up the pit for the musicians.  Our pit of course is UPSTAIRS.....sort of a balcony on house right.

You can access it through the props loft on the second floor of the shop.

So up I went with my broom and vacuum cleaner.

I was also looking for a small stool to put in Joseph's prison cell because I knew there was just the thing I wanted, a small wooden stool with a woven seat.



Title: Re: THE SPLITTING HADDOCK
Post by: Jrand74 on August 12, 2022, 07:09:35 AM
As I headed to the pit, I saw the stool behind some other furniture.  There was a small card folded in half on top of it.

I walked over and picked up the card and read it.  I was astonished!
Title: Re: THE SPLITTING HADDOCK
Post by: Jrand74 on August 12, 2022, 07:10:14 AM
It was a post office change of address card dated August 12, 1965.
Title: Re: THE SPLITTING HADDOCK
Post by: Jrand74 on August 12, 2022, 07:11:34 AM
The card had been filled out and signed by my Uncle Wayne - whose estate I am helping my sister with - and who passed away on November 19, 2021.
Title: Re: THE SPLITTING HADDOCK
Post by: Jrand74 on August 12, 2022, 07:12:50 AM
I had never seen the card before.  I brought NO furniture or clothing from his house to the theeder.

I never had that card in my possession.

And now here it was.
Title: Re: THE SPLITTING HADDOCK
Post by: Jrand74 on August 12, 2022, 07:13:57 AM
The addresses on the card were my grandparent's house AND the little white house that my uncle had built just down the road....the first house Uncle Wayne lived in when he moved away from home.

A most excellent story, DR Jrand71!

Now, doesn't the card being found indicate that it was filled out but never turned in to the Post Office?
In which case, what happened to the mail in those coming weeks?

Or perhaps this one was filled out, misplaced, assumed to have been lost, and another was turned in to the Post Office?

We look forward to your updates when you have gotten to the bottom of this mystery!

Leaving my own Petco, I thought of stopping at Shop Rite for a couple of bagels.

I picked up another of the lovely cranberry ones, noting that the cranberry bagel bin was NEARLY EMPTY, when all the others were NEARLY FULL. Did a legion of cranberry bagel obsessed HHW Guests see my post the other day, and start coming in to scoop them up?
Title: Re: THE SPLITTING HADDOCK
Post by: ChasSmith on August 12, 2022, 08:06:20 AM

I also picked up an everything bagel and just ate that one, toasted with butter, with all the little everythings that fell off it poured back over the buttered surface for maximum flavor and satisfaction.

Third:  I stopped at WalMart and bought A LOT of ice cream.  CostCo was selling only Kirkland brand ice cream.  I don't want that.  I wanted some Haagen Dazs!  WalMart had it.

Last time we were at Costo I had a sample of their vanilla ice cream.  I won't be doing that again.

Here's an eye-opening perspective on light years:


Voyager1 has been traveling at roughly 30,000 miles per hour for 43 years since its launch in 1977.

It is currently only 20 light hours away from us.

I had a moment of panic this morning when I discovered my wallet missing from my purse when I tried to pay for an oil change. They let me come home, where I found the wallet. I don't recall taking it out. I called them and gave them the credit card number.

I am glad they were nice about it.

Trump needs to be... You know. What you do with garbage. And I say that with love.


I'd like to see him have a nice little stroke. Normally I'd suggest a heart attack, but I'd like him to SHUT $^*^%^ UP! He could go into a nice, QUIET retirement. Play all the golf he wants. He has done so much damage and seems hell-bent to do more. Just leave the political arena.

He only deserves whst the Rosenbergs got.

Agreed.

Started watching Chan Is Missing, a movie I've long wanted to see. It's an interesting look at San Francisco's Chinatown. I'm glad I went to the city first.

It's filmed in black and white, sort of like a noir. But it's not really a mystery, despite the title. It's more about a segment of America that we really don't see much of. One of the weirder scenes has been of a Chinese senior center where the regulars are all dancing to a rumba.

He says I must meet all of the patients.”  SAY WHAT?
