Yes, this week I’m talking about everyone’s favorite advertisement delivery service. Until I moved to Texas, I got my mail from a cheap metal box in front of my house. I moved here and discovered the community mailbox. Instead of stopping at each address, the postal worker puts your mail into a locked box located in a structure on the street. This is certainly a lot more secure and efficient than the individual boxes. Mine is only about 100 feet from my front door, so it’s no big deal to collect the mail:

This is a true story. On November 14, 1974, during a mainland bombing campaign by the IRA targeting civilians, one James McDade planted a bomb outside a telephone exchange in Coventry. He is thought to have been leaning over the bomb when it detonated prematurely, killing him instantly. There was so little left of him […]

Doubtless, you have often wondered about the etymology of the word “ricochet.” Wonder no more.
Morericochet (n.) 1769, from ricochet (v.) or French ricochet “the skipping of a shot or of a flat stone on water,” but in earliest French use (15c.) “verbal to-and-fro,” and only in the phrase fable du ricochet, an entertainment in which the teller of a tale skillfully evades questions, and chanson du ricochet, a kind of repetitious song; of uncertain origin.

I just returned from visiting family and friends in New Mexico. On these trips, I always have an extra suitcase so I can bring back brews not available in The Great State of Texas.™ In order to not lose any of the precious liquid, I wrap the individual beer cans in newspaper, put them in quart Zip-Lock® bags, then put three or four at a time in gallon freezer bags.
I’ve been doing this for several years without incident or spillage. In March, the Southwest Airlines® desk agent asked why my case was so heavy. When I showed him, he bawled me out for not putting enough padding around the cans. He made me wrap my clothing around the gallon bags and slapped a “FRAGILE: HANDLE WITH CARE” sticker on the side of my suitcase.
