Not really Pop, but will work on the spoilage ASAP; headed to DeKalb via ChiTown mañana with 80.
GMaw (Missy) drove cross country last week to attend the birth with the GG parents. They get along well, but after 4 days out there on the road, was speculation of needing body bags.
I keep a folding shovel in the vehicle, so at least that was covered.
Will take in all the corn and soybeans I can stand, fight for chances to hold the baby and head back Tues next week.

ordered some mantels for my lanterns on ebay, got a "ok" deal, the USPS shipping has me miffed though. the order shipped from fort worth, Texas July 30th to Massachusetts then to another faculty in New Hampshire where the envelope is at this current time.....
delivery is to be for august 2nd.... hmm
i guess they know better then i do about mail logistics.... it just logically seems strange to go from the LOWER middle of the US to the UPPER east coast then to the LOWER west coast.
BTW: looking at google earth of the USA with a face.

No logical reason for a letter to go to New Hampshire when it is destined for So Cal. However, stranger things have happened. When my dad was a letter carrier, he once delivered a letter that someone on one side of the city mailed to another side of the city (in So Cal) and it went to New York first! I was maybe 12-13 at the time, and couldn't figure out why that would happen. Reading your post reminds me that the Post Office still has its own quirky way of delivering mail. Or, the more logical explanation would be that since they are all human too, and prone to making mistakes, one was made again.
