a peculiar bird (Illinois)

The USPS gets a great many things right so much of the time, so it is quite surprising when something unexpected happens. In this case, the postcard that our niece and her boyfriend sent was a bit mangled in the mail, arriving in a plastic apology envelope. It must have taken quite a bit to rescue it, since it was sent almost a whole month ago. Still, the USPS came through and delivered it nonetheless, so good on them!

Do you know the famous limerick about pelicans?

A wonderful bird is the pelican.

His bill can hold more than his belican.

He can hold in his beak

Enough food for a week,

But I’m damned if I see how the helican.
