It's been an interesting ride for my transmissions. I had sent a parcel to our resident genius, Daryl Turner, with three ETO transmissions in late January. With the current virus plague shipments are slow, parcels and mail normally go on commercial flights in cargo on a space available protocol and with so few flights, mail movement is glacial. So here's me watching this parcel daily, parcel sits in Moskau for couple weeks, then moves to Germany (Russia Post apparently has a deal with German Post of the moment). Parcel went DHL to New York and there it sat. For days. Parcel finally began to move and Thursday I checked again shortly after noon US time. US Post said the parcel was being returned to sender, 'can not deliver as addressed', and that's when your nuclear flash detector went off. Weird thing is parcel was delivered to Daryl early Friday as if nothing untoward was amiss. Go figure, and at least I'm off my heart defibrillator for the time being. My fear was that little nest of thieves at Post up in northern NJ had gotten this shipment, but now I've got some in stock at ETO.

Four more left for Daryl today and another four will leave Wednesday next for him. Hopefully shipments will become a tad more rapid and timely in the near future. As for the SitRep here, all is completely normal. We are on mask regime city wide but all shops, stores, offices private and government, factories, everything is working as normal. Vaccines are readily available but I'm too old to get the current Sputnik, I'll get the next version specifically made for us 'old' folks, should be late May.
