Now that is sad...most of those don't make it. They harvest them in the carribean at night, throw them in a sack and ship them with no food or water. Half of them are dead by the time they arrive to the pet trade. Half of the ones left alive soon die after sale because they're in poor health. Sometimes they force them into painted shells and glue them in so they can't leave the shell, knowing full well they are killing the crab. They don't care as long as it lives long enough to sell it. Don't buy crabs at pet stores, and especially at vacation sites. There are American breeders that sell online. (Crab momma rant over)

Back in the day on rural routes you could ask them to bring you other items... like milk, sugar etc. I once had a woman ask me to pick her up a loaf of bread. (This was in 1992) I told her we don't do that anymore. She got mad and said, "Well, you use to bring me what I needed!" So yeah, I can see someone saying, "John can you stop by Annie's house and pick up Billy for me on your way out here."

Do you remember that the USPS was one of the entities Trump attacked. When he put Louis in Louis made the statement that he would break the USPS and cause its demise. Trump put him in to cause USPS to fail. I worked for th USPS at the time ( recently retired) and I saw first hand the delays. The mail is usually at the post office when we get there. During that time we would be standing around waiting for our mail till 2pm and then have to rush to get it out and saving some till the next day, or calling in back up to help us get it done. It was costing USPS a ton of money paying 2 carriers for one route and paying overtime. It was a nightmare!

On a happier note... I loved getting baby chicks in. When we got chicks we always peaked in the holes and talked to them. When we get them we know they're special, and get special treatment. We usually call to see if someone's home to get them or if they want to pick them up.

Cancel cultures motto should be "Let's take it back 200 years"
