~ Chalk One Up For Snail Mail! ~

here's how the deal went down: as the Astoot Bloglodite may or may not know, I am visited here at The Shack every other weekend by our own Miss Trinity. And each time she comes she brings me a collection of the Bay Area newspapers, calling out as she approaches the house, "Whooo's your paper donkey?"

well...this weekend was to be one of her visits. However, I called in sick around noontime on Friday, and that, coupled with the impending rain, caused Trin to cancel her visit.

...less than 24 hours later, at 9:00 this morning I walked to the top of the levee to get my mail...
