The United States Post Office is really fugledup.

Guess what? Still waiting for SheWolf's money in the mail. No I don't think its all her fault except for three things, number one, few if anyone can read her chicken scratching on an envelope. She just don't write well. Next she put cash in the mail, that's a big no-no these days. Years ago when everyone wasn't hunting down money for their next fix, one could put small amounts in a envelope along with cereal box , box tops. Wouldn't do that today, and three: Sending money through the mail, when it should have been sent on the wire or USPS Overnight. Sending it overnight is only $10.00 or so, but you know its going to get there, or in this case here. Now that said, There has only been about 4 post offices that worked right, and knew the people on their routes , plus take an extra effort. The First most excellent Post office is in Heyburn Idaho. The main deliver lady's son is a Marine, but more over this lady would deliver packages to me and if it was raining she'd set it in the front seat of my mini service truck. That Post Office and my route carrier knew who certain types and styles of mail I got, no matter if it was the shop, toewing service or the Club or HazzardAyre she knew where it went and there wasn't any real space cadet type crap to deal with. The Second most perfect mail carrier and Post Office, was the one on Glenn's Ferry. Sure some of those people there wanted to tar and feather the club at times, but Roxy made sure I always got my mail. All of it. The Third best Post Office and carrier was in Eagle Idaho. Our carrier there same thing, it was the care and dedication to task, as no matter what part of the Club, or that it was addressed, that Darla knew who and where to deliver. 
And last, there was a our mail carrier and the Post Office, in Hazzard Idaho. This was long ways before Internet there, but just after lunch every mail day, I knew there was mail in the box for me, the club , radio gig, or the shop. I think it had to do with the fact that the same person delivered the mail every mail day in all these locations. Not fill in's every other day or on weekends. 
Of course there is late deliveries. The time the postmaster tells you something should be here or there, is estimated time. Not exact, the secret here is this mail, from Southern Idaho, Eastern Idaho, Southeastern Idaho and western Wyoming goes to Salt Lake City, to a central processing warehouse sized facility on 21st south and Redwood Road. I can remember years ago, Cousin Bud, before he figured out electronic deposits worked the best, but Cousin Bud would shove a check in the mail. When Monkee and I were residing in Grace Idaho, Bud sent my medium stipend to me each week. It'd go in on Wednesday, get to me by Friday or Saturday of each week, usually without fail. So one time, he mailed it as usual, trouble is, it bounced all over the region, but found out it had been damaged by some idiotic postal sorter at the processing station in Utah, had to be put in another package. After a month of waiting. I wanted to sue the crap out of the Post Office , but Monkee talked me out of it. The next big thing with the Post office was in Gooding. The same carrier , same town. And the new address just 8 blocks from where I lived yet when I transfered everything from my house to the office, but the damn Post Office there lost my mail. It went bouncing all over. Can you think of something so strange? But found out a month after or so when I moved to Buhl, that the same carrier, got fired for narcotics abuse. Yet who lost? Me and Erin and the radio crew we had there. Had I been smarter, I should have sued the beejeezus out of the local Post Office there, for being stupid. Yes Idaho has an anti stupid law.
So its not a suprise that SheWolf's money hasn't got to me yet. Thanks to my friends here for fronting me some cash so I can go to church this morning. 
On the subject of the radio operation. There's something wrong between me and Livestream.com . It just ain't working and not being able to save anything like it used to. Although I'm paying for extra storage of my shows to air later, or on demand, my shows are to be heard Live, I think, but can't save them. So looking at holding off on the radio gig, at least as far as streaming, until I have a conversation Monday, with my sales rep at Livestream or the supervisor there that I have a direct line to, to get all my channels tuned up. If so great, I stay a Livestream.com client. If not it all gets downloaded, I terminate my Livestream account and go with both Spreaker and SoundCloud. 
Any mile need to get washed up for church, will attempt a show on air this afternoon after church. on ; www.livestream.com/samcromcradio
