Bill,

I once received a phone bill here that I didn't recognize and when I looked at it, the thing had been sent by a person in some town in Georgia to their headquarters in Atlanta. Not a single thing in the pre printed address was even close to getting it out here to California, and to top that off the stamp hadn't even been cancelled. At that time I knew our post mistress well and I called her and asked her to explain to me how that got into my box. She looked at it with a funny look and asked it I had any other mail it could have been stuck to. I told her no, it was the only thing in the box. Now all of our incoming mail is routed through Redding main and then they send it out to the various branch towns. No one could come up with any explanation of how that bill got from Georgia to here and was determined it belonged in my box. And it had the correct zip code. I very seldom use the USPS any more and haven't for several years. If I owe a bill in Redding or around here is is much easier and faster to just go in and pay it. Plus I know that it will get there and not wind up in some other state or the dead letter depository.
