I love the postal service thing. I think I told you this before but I sent out 3 bills in the mail and they never got to their destination. Now I pay all the bills via the Internet. I can't trust the postal service. As far as receiving mail, they have a new option now. You can get a photograph of the mail being put into your mailbox. I've never tried it but it sounds like it might be a good idea.
Somebody said this post was "... erudite, informative, witty, and written by a musical genius who is handsome, debonair and modest." I agree one hundred percent. I always look forward to the correspondence.
“When I saw the postman I showed him this letter, and asked him what the special measures were. “Ah, yes”, he said. “There is a huge notice up in the sorting office that says ‘If you come across any letters addressed to Terry Freedman, for God’s sake deliver the bloody things’!” Brilliant. Thanks for the laugh, Terry! :)
I wonder if your cousin ever bothered trying to read your letters from university…. You didn’t make it easy!! Glad to know your twin brother helped out with teaching too. 😉

LOL. Thanks, Sharron. I always look forward to your comments! By the way, I am way behind in my Substack reading. Did you ever use my station photo?
Not yet,Terry. But I plan to. It is another gem!
Oh good, I thought I'd missed it!
Dang. How did I miss this one?
I’m imagining a post-it for the Postmen. And on the Post-it it reads Deliver mail to Terry Freedman aka Dr. Meefy Ranter.
I like Zenos philosophy.

🤣 thanks, Victoria!
I love the sound of your very creative letters to your cousin, Terry!
You have a twin brother?! Which of you was in that picture I'd posted - was it you, or was it him? 👀
Loved your link about nineteenth-century postal deliveries - I think Royal Mail could learn a thing or two!
Another great letter, Terry - I'm already looking forward to sending my retort. Sorry, I mean RESPONSE.... 😉

She always did! She was 14 and enjoyed the challenge I think 😁
