I had been saving this for the right time. But the most shocking thing about the entire postal adventure, has been the fact that it is probably a miracle that your mail ever gets where it is supposed to.
For anyone under 30, you probably do not know what this modern way to make copies is. But then not many people under 30 are looking at my blog. To give you a hint it's called Carbon Paper.
Everyday I have to sign for the Registered Mail Bag, even if it is empty. Take 4 copies back to the Steamboat Post Office, get one of the supervisors to sign my copy and keep three to send on down to Denver.
It had been at least 30 years since I had handled carbon paper and that was when the IBM Selectric typewriter was state of the art. Can anybody remember them?
