Nah, it's cause of their night vision.

Why Do Animal Eyes Glow at Night?

Ask a Scientist - Animal Eye Reflectivity

Well, I live in a pretty small town. I've actually had the mail lady flag me down to give me a package that needed a signature when I wasn't home. She's very cool about that kinda stuff. Other mail can be unpredictable though. It can take 4 days to get mail from Reno and I can drive there in two hours.

I'm sure God likes us all the same. LOL

tedwca,
wells there's a right way, there's a wrong way.. then there's the USPS way!

yeah no kidding!
iirc i read somewhere that e-mail is putting a big dent in snail mail & long distance calls.
rates should drop.. yeah right! when's the last time you've seen prices Drop on something??
woa.. i don't think i can recall..

i agree, usps blows. trackin system sucks, wierd delivery times, and once i found one of my packages in my garbage.

ups owns usps. fedex, i don't know. i guess they're better too.

yep, UPS is pretty consistent imo.. their estimated delivery dates/times have been pretty darn close.

Well, I hope your knife arrives soon!!

I just had to buy a stamp to mail in a jury duty summons.

That's getting screwed both ways.

oddball,
no doubt! yuck.
The 2 excuses that Always work for me..: lack of transportation & medical care.
I use 'em both at the same time.. just in case.

1. Oh that's the month i need to put a new tranny in my old POS _______.
(yes it *does* need to be replaced every 2 years.. that's why it's a POS _______!)

2. Oh i provide long term medical care for my poor aunt _______ who's afflicted with (some obscure disease).

..works every time man. Haven't even gone into a court house for a Decade now.. i just write those on the little excuse slip & mail it in.

Bruce,
yeah me too.. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />
hey.. Why is it my important mail, knives, gun parts can get Lost/Delayed in the mail.
But my Jury Summons ALWAYS get delivered??
