Postal Workers at Christmas
A postal worker was sorting mail a week before Christmas when he came across |
| Dear God, I am an 83 year old widow, living on a very small pension. Yesterday someone stole my purse. It had $100 in it, which was all the money I had until my next pension check. Next Sunday is Christmas, and I have invited two of my friends over for dinner. Without that money, I have nothing to buy food with. I have no family to turn to, and you are my only hope. Can you please help me? |
The postal worker was touched. He showed the letter to all the other workers. Each one dug into his or her wallet and came up with a few dollars. By the time he made the rounds, he had collected $96, which they put into an envelope and sent to the woman. The rest of the day, all the workers felt a warm glow thinking of Edna and the dinner she would be able to share with her friends. |
| Dear God, How can I ever thank you enough for what you did for me? Because of your gift of love, I was able to fix a glorious dinner for my friends. We had a very nice day and I told my friends of your wonderful gift. By the way, there was $4 missing. I think it must have been those thieving bastards at the post office.

Palatka Daily News - Bomb Scare Report
Bomb scare evacuates Interlachen post office;
turns out to be turntable player
By Ron Bartlett
The Interlachen post office was evacuated for more than four hours Friday morning because of a suspicious package, pulling in bomb squad units from the Alachua and Marion County sheriff’s offices, according to the Interlachen Police Department.
The briefcase-sized package, which turned out to be an old turntable record player, was discovered in the lobby of the post office just after 8:30 a.m. After inspection revealed no forwarding or return address, the post office manager notified Interlachen police, who locked down the building and evacuated all employees.
“It was a good size box and even the bomb squad, when they showed up, said, ‘don’t blame me for not wanting to touch it,’” said Palatka Postmaster Alan Foster, who was on the scene for most of the day.
After Interlachen police notified the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office, PCSO Lt. Richard Harrell arrived on scene and notified the Alachua County Sheriff’s Office, whose bomb disposal unit serves the area.
One bomb removal specialist arrived from the sheriff’s offices of both Alachua and Marion counties, who together used a bomb squad robot to investigate the parcel.
Over the course of several hours, the two deputies retrieved, removed and opened the package, which turned out to be an old-fashioned phonograph record player.
The scene was finally considered secure at 1:30 p.m.
A postal inspector was called in and will continue the investigation. Foster said that 24-hour surveillance tape active during the night will be scrutinized for possible clues.
Anyone with information should notify the Interlachen Police Department at 684-2164.

Jeffery Hen - Her Appetite Gets BIG
Roo looked down from the tree, saw her and flew out to join her. He was wondering why was she there without Bear and Panda being with her.
Roo went into the hen-house and woke them up to join in for their morning meal. While they were out there they noticed Jeffery Hen was eating like crazy. Bear and Panda didn't know why she was eating so much.
But Roo knew that another one was on the way. He thought to himself, "Will there be room in the hen-house for another chick?"
