They have moved your post office!

Moving house is always an exciting event. Here is an event similar to that...only told from a very different perspective. My friend used to chaperone the kids (all just out of kindergarten) to school and back. One day the driver fell sick and another took his place. The kids reached school. On the way back, the driver missed a turning and cut into another alley with a different post office in it. (Our house block has a post office in it). The van came to a halt. My friend the chaperone yelled to the kids to get off. The poor kids climbed out and stood blinking at the new surroundings. Sad to say, my friend too was emotionally moved by the incident. She yelled to the driver,"They have moved the post office!" Have you ever wandered into a strange lane and wondered what happened to your house?

@toniganzon Then you are safe...unless they really move the post office.

In Germany, I was walking back to the barracks and somehow ended up in the next town over, but that is about as close as I've come to that.

As long as you don't disturb the orbiting planets, it's all right. Good to see you!

Yes, sure. But they get used to change very fast. And then they begin looking for new things.

@gofsey I haven't even planted any flowers yet - there are still dangers from frost.
