You probably did not black out the bar code on the envelopes, so the sorting machine sent it all right back to you.

Three times I've called, and one time I was there while someone else was calling. 1) Father's Day morning, late 1990's. Myself and one of my brothers were the only ones home at my parents house. It's before 7am, and in my dream I hear a crash. Wake up and look out the window (bedroom was on the front of the house) and there's a pickup up against the front of our house. I go outside and find the driver (late teens or early 20's) walking around the front yard, power pole in the yard has been broken. Figure out he was coming over the hill and must have passed out and gone straight, because when coming over the hill, the road curves to the right, he went straight into our yard, hit the pole, rolled the truck at least once, and somehow it ended right side up, against the small front porch. Beer cans scattered over the yard, over 20 is what I remember. What we found out later was that he was on leave for the weekend from whatever military branch he was in, his father's neighbor let him take his brand new truck out. That truck was now totaled, and he was arrested. 2) Driving on the thruway, and this car as they are passing me on the left, starts swerving into my lane, I beep they move back into their lane. I start watching them, and it's apparent something is not right, inconsistent speed and failing to stay in one lane. I called, and start keeping pace with them, their speed was between 40-80 mph, sometimes driving on the shoulder, sometimes on the lines between lanes, etc. Eventually the Troopers caught up and got them to pull over. I would check the Trooper blotter online and about a week later it showed up, a female, driving impaired, with a child in the car. 3) Driving home late after work, maybe 2am or later on back country roads, during the winter. Come around this one curve in the road and I see a lot of snow in the road, look over, and there's a car up on the snowbank, driver's door open and a leg sticking out. I stop and go take a look, guy somewhat passed out on the front seat, comes to as I approach. Says he fell asleep, can I call him a cab (there are no cabs where I lived, and this was pre-Uber) or take him to a truck stop. I just tell him I'll call for some help. Made the mistake of letting him site in my car. I was outside and I see him fiddling with the radio. I open the door and he yells at me that it's his car. Troopers eventually show up, they get him out of my car and into the back of theirs, he has my Bills winter hat on, so I have to ask them to get that back for me, because at this point, he's angry that I called 911, and calling me an #######. I hang out long enough listening to them question him that he tells them that he was in Utica (we are nowhere near Utica) because he's a gigolo. A few days later I have to go give my statement, it's the same Troopers, so they tell me that he was arrested, and tried to proposition the female Trooper while he was being booked. They also tell me that he had broken off the car key in the ignition, so even if he could get the car off the snowbank, it was not going anywhere. 4) This one was somewhere in Texas, after dark but not too late, I'm driving down this service road near a highway and see a car pulled over and two people walking towards me on the shoulder. I then notice the large object on the should of the road, which turns out to be a person. I pull over also, and while one of the people call 911, I stand on the shoulder before this person (who is awake and talking) waving at people to move over. Once the firemen get there, I get a better look at this person, whatever happened it split the skin open on one of their legs, you could see the muscle, etc. I decide then, since the cops had arrived, and said they did not need a statement from me since I did not see the accident, I could leave.

We have an elderly neighbor that that we do not see outside that often, but these past several weeks we noticed his vehicles have not been moved. But we did take note that his mailbox was not getting filled, so we figured he was still alive inside. Verified eventually by calling him. Back when I was living in an apartment and not trusting my neighbors, because I worked a lot on the road and would not be home during the week, I was deciding where to get a PO box. The mall (Carousel/Destiny) was one I was considering. Ended up going to the regional Post Office since access their to the PO boxes was 24/7, whereas the mall was only during mall hours.

Saw them when they came through Syracuse, good, entertaining show. But for an amphitheater that holds about 17,500, they only sold about 3,000 tickets. Staff was letting anyone that wanted to, could sit under the pavilion. I was weird, with the smaller crowd, it felt more like a small venue, and not a large amphitheater. And the New York State Fair concerts are finalized, click on the pic below for easier reading...

No, it's the Planet Fitness guy. BTW, I have one brother that could pass for Mike Holmes.

And you look like an Airstream trailer. Which reminds me of a funny story. Meeting another poster here for the first time, they also mentioned I do not look like my avatar. Which I found funny because their avatar was OJ's mug shot.

Thanks @BillytheKid, I'm a numbers nerd also as you appear to be.

One concert I was in the line of traffic on the road heading out and I started hearing car's rear ending each other behind me. Bop, bop, bop, bop. Getting closer. Started silently praying that the cars in front of me would move just a little bit so I could move up and hopefully not get involved. Thankfully they did. Lakeview, I found out this year that you can park in the Pink lot, it's not just for drop offs/pick-ups. It's still busy down there, but not as bad as the Orange lot.

Or it says that they are a satire site and none of their articles are true, just humorous stuff they make up.

That's what I do. Problem is, she starts complaining on day 3 of no shaving.

I had that booked for the opener this year, then they cancelled it on me. Looks like they've blocked out every home game day. Makes me wonder if they did some package with a travel company to sell out.

It's like Doug Flutie saying he's 5'10". He's my height, and I'm just under 5'8".

But he was so funny in the movies.

So with teams building domes, plus the two you missed, that will make it 16 out of 32 teams, or 50%

Oh, really, Vernon? Why pretend, we both know perfectly well what this is about. You want me to have an abortion.

Don't you tell me which zone is for loading, and which zone is for stopping!

My car came with a sunroof that I think I've only opened fully three times in the almost 10 years I've owned it.

Two out of six, the New Jersey stadium and 49er's stadium are open air. Going back to 2000, 8 out of the 17 stadiums built were open air. And now with Cleveland, Tennesse, Washington, and Chicago, that'll be four more stadiums going from open air to closed roof. List of current NFL stadiums - Wikipedia

No, the white zone is for loading of passengers and there is no stopping in a RED zone.

$64K according to the Zillow estimate. That's with putting down $2.14M as a down payment, and a credit score of 720 or higher.

Remember when people hated Rob Johnson because he was a California boy?

Easiest would be some projectors around the roof surface.
