Yep, I mean YOU Joel of Winnipeg! LOL!

Today I recieved an unexpected and unsolicited Canadian Care Package from Joel. As it had been nearly 4 decades since my last visit
to the cold country, I much enjoyed seeing and holding todays Canadian coinage. Thank you kind sir! By the way Joel, the note was
dated 16 August and I received it today, 15 September. LOL! Not unlike the shipping time on the package I sent you. LOL! I guess
U.S. Customs is every bit as slow as the Canook variety. LOL! Thanks Joel! Much appreciated sir. Warm regards, Jim
 
Hey Jim.
It sounds like it must have gone through Ankorage. That place must be one of the slowest places in the world to get a package through! I live half way around the world, yet it's reputation for slowness is even known about here in Australia.

Better late, than never. I had a friend send me a nice care package this year, mostly personal stuff, but it really made my day, also.

This guy from up North used to get care packages of cheese and summer sausage from home. This stuff stunk to high heaven and we would not touch it with a ten foot pole. He liked it tho.

Everything was cured, pickled or smoked and they even baked some crackers to go with it. The cheese in those care packages smelled like dirty socks.

No wonder people from the North and South couldn't get along. They couldn't understand each other or eat each other's food.

People from up North thought Grits were something you fed hogs, not people.

If you were from up North and you pulled out some of that dirty socks smelling cheese, nobody wanted to eat that either. Everybody looked at you like you had passed gas.
 
Heh Heh,

Fongu, your explicit description brings to mind a Christmas package I received when I was stationed on
Guam while serving in the Navy. All of the family had gotten together and made up a large package of
baked goods. Unfortunatly, the package was lost for several months and when I finally got it in spring,
it was literally growing. LOL! It looked like a petri dish growing fungus. Regards, Jim
