A member here had asked me to ship him a piece of Boxwood for his collection. I was working away from home, and it wasn't convenient for me to ship anything, so I asked my Wife to drop it by the PO.
That day, a criminal just out of jail stole a car in the town she went to. The local police thought this must be a great excuse for a high speed chase, and as she was going one way on a four lane main highway through town, five police cars were chasing the stolen car at high speed. She saw it coming from a ways off, and turned right at the stoplight she was coming up on. The idiot criminal also decided to make that turn, but was going too fast, and he hit my Wife's car, spinning it around. The car being chased continued on, and one of the cop cars stopped and called an ambulance for Pam. They carried her to the hospital, she had no major injuries but was pretty beat up.
After the weeks it took to get the insurance company to pay for fixing the car, it was sent off, the body work done, and some weeks later Pam went to get it. After driving it for a couple of weeks, and after a couple of big rains, it started to smell bad inside, and we figured out there was something still bent causing a leak, which saturated the carpet, which soured. So back in the shop it went.
While pulling out the carpet, the envelope with the Boxwood was found under a seat.
Anyway, to make a long story short, the envelope is back on the dash of my truck, and I hope to remember to mail it tomorrow. I haven't checked the pms to see when this started, but it must have been a couple of months ago.
