I find myself wondering at times if the Post Office is an optical illusion or a hallucination. There is a difference between an optical illusion and a hallucination. An opticial illusion is a real image that is made up different size angles and objects or varying color patterns used to trick the light and dark reactors in our retina. The retina can only obtain so much information at once, so the receptors and literally battling amongst themselves. Linear measurements are technically optical illusions. You have a flat tub containing eight Brides magazines and another with 288 one page Comcast fliers. Both measure as 12 inches of mail but it should take the same amount of time case because it is 12 inches of mail. Right? :)

A hallucination is a false image that occurs when the brain is in an abnormal state, such as from lack of sleep, taking drugs, mental illness or eating Armour Pork Brains with Milk Gravy (I actually saw this product in the canned meat aisle - I'm not going to try it.) I am sure some of you have seen optical illusions at the P.O. or have wondered if some your co-workers have been hallucinating.

A fun thing to do at work is to send your supervisor a postcard with a picture of the planet Earth on the outside. On the back you can write, "All of us clerks and carriers are having a wonderful time. Wish you were here...."

But enough about that, the original reason I started this blog was because of someone else on here who recently posted some pics of his wedding cakes. It is a very rare combination to find someone else who makes wedding cakes AND works for the Postal Service. If you haven't seen the pics yet, his name is "John from SW Kansas." He does very good work!  I don't think I will breaking John's confidence when I say that we have exchanged a few messages and John has visited the Denver area several times and mentions a lot of familiar places in his messages. It is just nice to talk to someone who knows that a "firm ball stage" and a "soft ball stage" has nothing to do with Viagra and that "figure piping" isn't plastic surgery.

I have not been online for a few days and it actually has to do with  making wedding cakes. Valentine's Day week and the month of June are the busiest times for me. And, yes, John they have big weddings in Colorado too. I will post a couple of pics later today.

I heard a story about a male and female clown that got married and both the groom's and bride's relatives and friends all arrived at the church piled in the same car.

But, of course, that too could have been a hallucination.
