Re: What's up with USPS?
I wish I could tell you things are much better here in Canada, but I can't. Ordering something whether by courier or mail, whether international or within the country, is a crap shoot. Sometimes the results are stunning, other times dismal. I ordered two books from the same company in August. On September 13, I've had one for over a week, the other has yet to arrive. My daughter in Germany tells me it's no better there. Sadly, I'm old enough to remember when the post office, in Canada at least, was efficient.
Robert Johnson's mother, describing blues musicians:
"I never did have no trouble with him until he got big enough to be round with bigger boys and off from home. Then he used to follow all these harp blowers, mandoleen (sic) and guitar players."
