We have made our mailman.

Our mailing service had a little piece of paper today complaining about how far the mailboxes were from the road. The plows have been doing a sucky job. So we had to get a temporary mailbox out there. I could have chose anything. But I decided to make a snowman. I was supposed to be shoveling. But now we have a mailman. Hopefully the mail service enjoys our hot take.

“Train Service Will Be Cut in Half,” Kingston Whig-Standard. February 15, 1933. Page 12.  ---- Brockville-Westport Service to Operate Every Other Day ---- BROCKVILLE, Feb. 1 - Effective at an early date, a reduction in train service on the Westport sub-division of the Canadian National Railway to proposed by the management of the company, which plans to substitute a three-days-per-week service between Brockville and Westport for the present daily-except-Sunday service. It is understood that the change will go into effect on February 19 and that the train will be operated on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. The alteration follows abandonment last summer of the gasoline "Jitney” service between Brockville and Westport and is said to be dictated by declining revenues from the operation of trains over the line. 

The change will drastically affect the handling of mails for Lyn, Athens, Soperton Delta, Phllipsville, Elgin, Crosby, Newborn, and Westport stations on the line and the proposal is being made that the conveyance of the mails for these centres with others outlying such as Lyndhurst, Harlem, and Chantry be handed over to the Anglin bus line which carries on a dally service between Brockville and Westport. Some months ago an Independent mall service for the village of Lyn from Brockville was inaugurated and more recently. It has been arranged that the courier from Toledo, instead of meeting B & W train at Forthton, shall continue into Brockville in order to carry the mails daily except Sunday for Frankville and Toledo. The courier on the Brockville to Athens mail route also now carries a lock bog for the latter village which thus boasts an improved twice-a-day postal service. 

It is felt that the different communities served by the B & W trains will protest against a three-times-a-week mail service, which must necessarily follow reduction of the trains operated on the sub-division and it is being argued in several of the communities in question that the mail contract should be turned over to the bus line, with which rural couriers could easily connect.

I appreciate that everyone thought Tango would take its easy this season after Decked Out. Go full grumpy old man, murdering anyone who bothered him. Yet here he is… building a redstone mail delivery service with dynamic chunk loading while still in his starter base.

Meanwhile, TCG mastermind and map connoisseur VintageBeef is *this* close murdering Iskall for touching his farmhouse walls.

#astronomically excited about the mail service oh my GOD #tango tek #VintageBeef #the sound he made when appointed the minister of maps? #let the man rest #beef is literally the townspeople in untitled goose game just trying to live their lives #and Iskall is a horrible goose #hermitcraft #hermitblr

I got some sticker envalopes send-backs today (aka postal service couldnt deliver them to kofi/patreons for some reasons) and I would like to know why an envalope that was being delivered to someplace an hour from me, took 3 weeks to get back to me after not being delivered :D

No blame on postal workers who are understaffed and busy rn but like, oh man

#at this rate I think I might pause December Patreon stuff in the future until USPS lightens up #I know that the postal service is having issues and I don't want to blame the workers since because staff and machine issues #but man #December will be rough since its holidays but I have savings I can use inbetween bills and christmas stuff so #I know mailing gets more difficult in the holiday season and Idk if me or pats/kofis want to deal with it a bit sldkghlsd #sticker stuff #patreon stuff #sara shush

Please stop being cringe and listen to better punk in begging you. Listen to Discharge.

Okay so I have no idea what this is in reference to cause I have like 3 playlists circulating around on here atm. BUT EITHER WAY. Uuhhh. Fuck you?

I’ll listen to whatever the hell I want to cause I dont really care about what a random person on anon has to say about my music taste?

ALSO, like. This ask is so rediculous? Dont be cringe on the cringe website? Listen to ‘better’ punk? Do you mean more popular? Do you mean less pop-punk? Do you mean more 70s/80s? Do you mean less ‘this song was on guitar hero’??? Like. Hello??????? Why dont you go learn not to be a prick instead???

#mail tag #also side note: i do listen to discharge?? not often. but like. i do??? #i dont even know how you would know if I did or not??? #ESPECIALLY considering that IM A DJ #And Ive stated on here before that I use like 3 different streaming services in tandem on top of the absurd cd collection? #im just #wtf?????

*puts on my scholar glasses* is the cookie tiny or are his hands gigantic?

#tiny cookie is tragic but funny but big hands can go from hot to dangerous if you ask to get fingered. #god forbid a misunderstanding in being fisted.... (his strap is still in the mail but hes eager to service top while waiting) #one of my favorite miscellaneous details of clark is he has a strong sweet tooth #like he loves cookies and doughnuts. he has chocolates on his desk. in action comics 434 his downfall was literally eating a mystery box #of chocolates and in the next issue he buys girl scout chocolates while depressed and thinking he has to exile himself #its not a very jarring or overdone theme (thank god) but its so funny when you notice it #same with lois just fucking loving a hot dog in two separate comics #anyways. big man or tiny cookie? #also link is to a post where i transcribed the entire little comic btw.... it's a cute one ...... #c: dc holiday special (2017) #crypt's panels #clark kent

IT ARRIVED IT ARRIVED IT ARRIVED

DESPITE EVERYTHING DESPITE MY CHRONICALLY CURSED INTERNATIONAL MAIL PROBLEM I AM STILL THE ZONE RPG

#bakuspeech #and I guess this counts as #bakuspecial #ouuuuuu #my art! on cards! characters I kinda got to build with my visuals!! #also upon getting this which I had mailed to the senpai's place instead of mine in an effort to break the curse we immediately #ran a game. that was supposed to be short. but ended up extending past midnigt #AND had to stop for the night before act 2 even begins #but. its SO fun. the game pieces do just the right amount of heavy lifting for u that it frees u up to make up Real out there stuff #like. we ran a game on the browser version. and while it was also Really fun it got stressful to make stuff up #now if we're stuck we just pick up cards #and like. idk for kinda the first time really? I get the appeal of roleplaying with someone else #I'm usually such a control freak about the stories I tell lmao #with the visual aids in this set I get to imagine the character dynamics so much more easily #like this time around the senpai picked the scientist archetype #and he made that guy a white guy with some means who has been sending people to death to serve his science #and my character's an asian guy who was with a pest control service (yes I picked the trevor henderson character lmao) #who got drafted into the bureau and works as like cleanup/fodder #so immediately I got to go like oh so I hate your guts. and you condescend at me #which turned out to be a Very fun dynamic to roleplay lmao #throughout act 1 we've made this dynamic steadily Worse. one of them envies the other into oblivion #while the other can now communicate with No one except his mission partner #and we're gonna craft the second act as chase. a predator and a prey. gods. it was SO fun #its so funny both of them were touting to be smart or good at their job. and then they went into the zone and Immediately got fucked up #this game really gives u that satisfaction and fascination with like. when things go wrong in way too thematically fitting and messy ways #lmao my contract's fulfilled I do not have to talk this game up. its just really fun. man I enjoy that so much #sadly my pool of english speakers who can play this game with me is not big #I'll try and find time to run a few small games in the near future... maybe during lunar new year #I was over at the senpai's today to toast out birthdays lol. to get that out of the way we've been planning something like that for weeks #weve been both way too busy. with different sliding scales of uh. how pleasant that busy's been

[ot3]

The fact that the USPS is expected to operate itself like a business and attempt to earn a profit is so ridiculous. Epic infrastructure win: they're planning to lay off over 300 employees just in my city alone over the next ten years. Losing thousands of thousands of employees is definitely gonna go great for their business strategy I'm sure. Great stuff here guys great stuff.

#We need to try and compete with independent shipping companies! How can we make sure our service will be worse #Christ. Maybe shave a bit off the pentagon budget to make sure we can still send mail
