I have been trying to make everyone aware that ebay automatically fills in the 2-9 days part, under parcel post. I have tried to change that and had no luck. The USPS website reads 2-9 days except Alaska and Hawaii. Some items that I mailed parcel post were received in 4 days others are still waiting, its all up to the post office, I have no control over this. I am sorry if your item(s) is one that takes some time to get, but that's why I offer alternate shipping choices. Please leave me feedback based on my performance not the performance of someone else.

-22 BELOW YESTERDAY MORNING

-26 BELOW ZERO THIS MORNING

I've lived here my whole life and all I have noticed is fewer wild animals to hunt, more people and with them came a whole, whole lot more dogs and cats. So many in fact the wolves that live around town have been feasting on them. So much for aerial wolf hunting, there are more wolves than ever. If you go out in the woods in winter, you can see them and they have the snow so packed down that you can almost ride a bicycle down their trails, no thats something new. They can't hunt the wolves fast enough to make a dent in them. They made all these parks around the population centers, where we used to be able to hunt, but not any more, now the wolves are eating these global greenies dogs, while their out walking with them............. If any of these transplanted know it alls ever went and lived anywhere besides some big city, they would find out that bears, wolves and such can't co-exist with people, and when it's -25 to -60 below zero for weeks on end, it's not called gloabal warming. From the 1990's until 2003 the ice pack, where the Polar bear's live actually increased in size, so now it shrinks a little and OH NO it's global warming, YEA RIGHT. These are the same scientists that brought us the Space Shuttle made out of foam !!!! You know like the stuff we use to insulate the house trying to keep out the -30 degree global warming.

Well my son said I have to quit typing in all caps! Told him I was lazy, that's why I do it, he didn't buy it. Said it looks like I am yelling. OK will give it a try. Born and raised here, and I do know one thing, there isn't any signs of GLOBAL WARMING (NO SIGNS HERE) plenty of snow, of course every year is a little different. Like this year, a hundred miles south of here they got more snow that I can ever remember, this year and last. Lost lake got 10-13 feet in about 3 days. I don't think I can recall that much, that quick ever before. Snows good, sleddings fun, so if you can't reach me now and then, well you know where I went............ Then of course summers coming and the days are long and if the water and fishing is to good, who needs sleep?
