Take Your Time Part 1 - Late Mail

   Yes it's been a while since the last b-list posting - two weeks in fact.
   A couple of things popped up which prevented me from having the time to
   prepare the b-lists.  Things should get back to normal (whatever that is)
   soon.

   1. "Better late than never"  [USA]
      < http://www.usatoday.com/news/offbeat/2003-06-23-postal_x.htm >
   "A letter posted with a 10-cent stamp in San Francisco has arrived in Council
    Bluffs - 35 years after it was sent"

   2. "Better late than never"  [Sweden]
      < http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2004/01/13/1073877794449.html >
   "A postcard sent from southern Sweden in 1982 arrived at its destination in
    the centre of the country last month, more than 21 years later"

   5. "59-year-old paycheck finally delivered to rightful owner"
      < http://www.msnbc.com/local/ksnw/m330307.asp?0ct=-302&cp1=1 >
   "A Hays man was surprised recently to receive a paycheck. He doesn't remember
    doing anything to earn it, and the check was issued in 1944"
