Well, mailed my secret pal package on monday and to my surprise I found it returned to me by the Post Office because I had dropped it in the mail box instead of handing it to a postal worker. I had to wait until this morning to go to the post office to actually hand it to an employee. To my surprise, she said to me, " Why did you stand in line to hand this to me you could have just put it in the slot". I explained my circumstances to her, she called the post master and I had to explain it all over. He apologized and said because it was over the 13 oz limit it must be handed to an employee, if it is under 13ozs you can just drop it in the box.
I guess terrorists make bombs that weigh more than 13 ozs.
But at any rate it is posted and tracking north and west of me. It should be there monday or tuesday. Hope my secret pal enjoys my choices.
