Around the USA in 30 Days

The travels of an amigurumi squirrel.

What is the difference between a 9 and a 4?  Take a look…

USPS squirrel

My poor little brown squirrel was innocently taken to the Post Office by his creator Moons Creations to be sent to me, and the Postal worker switched the 9 in my zip code with a 4, and there began his seemingly never ending loop around the USA.  Now even if you write the address on the package correctly, the bar code printed by the post office takes precedence over it until someone realizes they have seen said package before and does something about it.  It took and email and a phone call from me then a call from my post office to the post office in Allen Park, MI to stop my little squirrels travels, have the bar code crossed out, and have him delivered to me.  A month later he finally made it and I have to say he was worth the wait.  This is one example of why it is a good idea to use delivery confirmation.
