I took a drive over to the picturesque town of Winters this morning to pick up a couple of battery operated fans that were unavailable anywhere else in the tri-county area. I got the last two in stock. It was a beautiful drive through the countryside, so as of yet, Columbus hadn't pissed me off. In fact, I didn't even remember today was "his." I took the fans over to the podunk post office and - screw me - even though the sign said they opened at 10:00 a.m. and it was 10 minutes after, they were locked up tight. Another would-be customer arrived and bitterly complained that this place was wholly unreliable. "A little too small town, if you ask me." he says. So I headed over to Steady Eddy's to grab a good cup of coffee. The joint was packed - real watering hole in small town America. Coffee in hand, I settled back into the car and headed back to Davis to go to the main post office.
When I arrived, the usually packed parking lot was decidedly empty but for two cars. Didn't think twice, except I did remark, "This must be my lucky day!" My ignorance astounds even me. I triumphantly entered the edifice only to discover the lobby locked up and dark. Another customer shared my dismay. Then, a guy picking up from his box informs us that it's Columbus Day. Wh.....at?
Unacceptable! All I want to do is mail these fans to a friend in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Battery operated, don't you know? And, by the way, there are signs up in our P.O. saying "Post Offices in US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico are open and functioning!" Tell that to my friend in San Juan. No mail delivery in two weeks. More government bull poopy.
So, Chris, FUCK YOU. Especially for the genocide. But also for the post office closures.
Really nice of you to get those battery-powered fans. I'm sure your friend will appreciate immensely when they arrive. Yes, Columbus Day is such a stupid holiday.
