Bags & Mags: The March Reel News

Post by Richard Lodge »

Even with a nor'easter bearing down on us, I managed to bag up the March Reel News - a whopping 68 pages, including the 2018 member roster/directory - and drop it off at the postal distribution center (otherwise known as the one-story building full of surly people in the industrial park) this morning. I was pretty happy with this issue, which includes some excellent articles - not to mention every last one of your names (if you paid your dues on time). If I had known about this West Virginia passport thing (see Mike Nogay's post elsewhere on the board) I would have included an application. :wink:
Here's what the doorway into the livingroom looked like last night. My wife always makes cracks about the cluster of short Klansmen in our house when I'm getting ready to ship the magazine, or something about how we need to put these out on the lawn on Halloween night.



Sixty-eight pages is one heavy magazine. All across America postal workers will be cursing me next week.

Thanks, Richard. But next week? How about for the next month? My issue often doesn't arrive until the first week of the month following the month they were mailed. It's always well worth the wait, I'm sure this issue will be no exception...
