I live 6.5 hours north of Carbondale...

I love that we're getting tokens so early this yeah, but why must the USPS kick me in the shins so!?

Am I the only one still suffering watching their tracking? After three days of apparent rest in Jackson, MS (again, the exact opposite direction from where I live from Carbondale), my tokens have made a three hour trek north to Memphis. I hope they can catch a tour at Graceland!

i'm about 4 hours east of Carbondale, so I usually just drive there to do my "token stuff".

But nobody can just show up. You need to schedule for that to happen

you are correct. I call ahead and sometimes transport "stuff" from build crew to warehouse. in and out in 15-30 minutes. it can be very hard to catch them with free time.

6 days of “in transit” for me since their last actual location.

Mine showed up Saturday. Oddly, I find the boxes show up about 2 days after I put in a request with USPS to track down the boxes. I suspect them showing up has nothing to do with the requests - more likely I get impatient after about 5 days and the boxes show up 2 days later

At this point it's jsut amusing to watch

Ha, that's how I felt at the end! When my tokens arrived, I was sad their adventure had ended.

This time next week I expect to be anxiously awaiting my V7 treasure. In the meantime, i hope everyone's transmutes are swiftly reaching their destination.

This morning, my news feed included an article that the USPS Oak Creek regional center got a new piece of equipment to help them avoid shipping delays. That's generally good news, as all of my mail goes through that site. But I can't help but think that St. Louis could use the upgrade more than Oak Creek. Oh well. Here's hoping for a fun weekend followed by more watching of Informed Delivery.

Shipping Label Created!

Now I get to watch my treasure as it tries to navigate the shipping lanes and work its way towards my door. Feels like I'm back in Room 4 playing Plunder. I sure hope my package doesn't crash upon the reef.

As promised, my donations to the beggar were subtracted from my treasure total.
