You sure have that task figured out but don't think there is enough mail between the two cities to justify even a 140. I just gave it to a postal clerk at the post office as I didn't know what international postage is between these two countries. I think all first class mail in this country is flown now if any distance is involved. Sometimes it will take the better part of a week to get a letter to a town just down the road less then 30 miles. First, the letter goes to our local post office and then is sent to another location to be sorted along with other mail for the city to where it is to be delivered. Then the letter goes from the sorting facility to the destination city for another route sorting and then to the carrier for delivery. I don't think letters mailed in Rolla going to Rolla are sorted at the local post office any longer. There used to be a mail box in the post office for local mail but that has been gone for at least a couple of years. One thing for sure here in central Missouri the postal workers are the nicest group of folks you will ever be in contact with. Every one of them is very pleasant and will help you with a smile and no task is too much bother. I guess the system we have in place for handling the mail must be more cost effective then timely. Thanks for the post and it must be cold up there to be noticing such things. I was inside most of the day as well and plan to so again tomorrow. Get out early and feed the animals and call it a day on these cold and windy days. Stay warm, Hal

Well, when our family moved to our 20 acre site near New Prague, Minnesota, I had one thought in mind. You guessed it, farm it somehow. A little history is in order. In my younger days, mom, dad and my brother made frequent visits to dad's youngest brother Pete, who took over the home farm from grandpa MIke. It was the typical set-up, milk cows, pigs & chickens. In the winter, we'd play
