New snail mail address, and other things

[giza]

Well, I got my first ever Post Office box earlier today. The cost is a whopping $35 for 6 months, which is much cheaper than The UPS Store, which charges something like $120 for 6 months. So I just saved about $80. My new address is:

Douglas T. Muth
P.O. Box 1171
Bala Cynwyd, PA 19004
USA

The name of the town is pronounced "Bal-a Kin-wood". No, I don't know why it's spelled that way.

I'm thinking of sending myself a few postcards with strange names on them, to see if they get delivered. I think a few cards to, "Bill Clinton", "Saddam Hussein", and "I stole this postcard" should work. I wonder if the post office will deliver them all to my box? :-)

In other news...

Wolf Roams City Streets - Someone was raising a wolf here in Philadelphia. It got loose and was roaming the street. Apparently it was quite happy letting people pet it. Heh.

Fotosafari Augsburg - This is a virtual tour of the city of Augsburg in Germany. It was put together by my good friend kiza. On a related note, I received an e-mail some time ago by someone living in Austria with the same last name as me stating that she had a document about the origins of our family name, and that it originated in the very same town of Augsburg. Fascinating.

Receiving UPS packages? That's what the office is for. :-)
