So as you all know, I sell on ebay and thus use the postal service for delivery. On orders in the United States I have tracking free. Buy through ebay and track it righ to the door. Not so on International orders. Oh, I get a tracking number, but it ends at the edge of the ocean or the Canadian border, so I am used to things diappearing into a customs office and never coming back. Or if a package arrives at a post office and is not picked up I see it wend it's way back to my door. But from here to Oregon is pretty much a straight shot, or so I thought!
A lady in Eugene, Oregon bought a book on November 13. I immediately posted it at my Wedgewood office. It left there sometime that day and arrived in Salt Lake City, Utah 8 days later. That must have been one helluva trip It remained in Salt Lake City for several days until they got tired of talking to me. It then came back to Denver. After due time it caught a wind and headed out west.
It then spent 2 days flying to Washington. After spending the night in Federal Way, Washington it spent 2 days flying to Eugene, Oregon. So 15 days later it arrived on her door step. Below is my tracking record.

Seems like the real vacuum hole seeems to be beween Pueblo, Colorado and Salt Lake City, but that is not the case. Only God knows where that thing was. So after many weeks I was most happy to find this email in my box:

Holy Moley, it's on the correct edge of the country! lol
Now I just went and checked out the Pony Express and copied what was there for you to read: The service opened officially on April 3, 1860, when riders left simultaneously from St. Joseph, Missouri, and Sacramento, California. The first westbound trip was made in 9 days and 23 hours and the eastbound journey in 11 days and 12 hours. The pony riders Annual Pony Express Re-Ride covered 250 miles in a 24-hour day.
So am I off base in suggesting that they might bring back the Pony Express? I figure I could shave a good 3-4 days off my delivery time. Let me know.
In the meantime, I do hope Jeanne is enjoying Silly Sally. I want to thank her for being so patient. Most people would have given up early in the game. Sure hope to do business with her again.
Happy Thanksgiving, Lou
:-) Jeanne
And finally, this one:
EUREKA!!!! Silly Sally has arrived!
