    Ah, no. It's not big deal. It arrived on 9/11 for some perspective.

    I just thought it was amusing and a reminder to mail items in plastic bags. One time, a bag of letters sent to Iraq ended up in a nasty liquid. No problem as I always double bag everything I send.

    Bag your swaps and whatnots!

    I knew there was a reason I used plastic bags when sending fabric.

    Wouldn't you love to know its story. Glad it made it in one piece (more or less).

    Someone was always flicking a cigerette into the post office
    mail box. I guess they got their Jollies out doing this but
    they finally caught a 15 year old doing it and made an ex-ample out of her and no one did it for a long time. I think
    I have the newspaper clipping of it as my hubby was a mail man and had a scrap book of his 33 plus years there.
