This week, we've had a different Postal Service delivery driver. The normal gent drops off any boxes to my door, because we have to walk down to the road to get to our mailbox, and many items don't fit in the mailbox.
Well, the "filling in for the other guy" driver today decided that dropping off a box to our door was too much work, and left it ON TOP OF THE MAILBOX, where the afternoon winds blew if off...and into the busy road.
You can guess what happened...by the time I got home and went down to the mailbox to collect the mail, I had a Priority Mail box that more closely resembled an Overnight Letter. Flat as a pancake.
And, inside...two crushed Mini-Brutes from an eBay auction.
Oh, I can salvage stuff like decal sheets and such, and get tubes and cones from our great modroc vendors...it just seems like such a waste that these kits survived for 30-odd years, and were ruined by someone's lackadaisical attitude. "Hey, it's just a package...I'll just do what I'm required to do, not a bit more". Just sad.
