A few years ago a reel of magnetic tape was mailed to me---Special Handling. It took 54 days to travel the approximately 15 miles from Bladensburg MD to Silver Spring MD.

A few months later I discovered on a Sunday evening that my car registration would expire the following Saturday & I couldn't go stand in line at the DMV because I had to travel out of state the whole week. I filled out the application and put it and a personal check in the mail that night. The registration certificate and tags were in Saturday's mail.

Sometimes you really don't know whom to hate.
