Before Thanksgiving my work told me they were sending a Walmart gift card. Great, I’ll take it.
It never arrived. I did not speak up, it wasn’t a big deal and I was good. I am not going to insist somebody go out and get me a replacement card.
The card finally arrived yesterday. It was postmarked November 20. Ponder that. Twenty-plus days to travel 210 miles. I could have literally (and I am using that word correctly) walked there and back in that same time frame.
Well I could if I was in better shape. And if it wasn’t winter. Shuddup, you get my point.
The Pony Express took about 10 days to travel between St Joseph, MO and Sacramento - about 1,900 miles. Compare and contrast.
It is okay, I’ll buy a Christmas turkey instead.
