Somehow, these late messages always remind me of the occasion when I was in the Army and stationed overseas in a very hot and humid location. Herself sent me a care package containing, among other things, a hard sausage and some cheese. Because of one thing and another, it took almost two months to reach me; when it finally arrived, I got a desperate call from the mail room to come and get it before they had to call the guys in the white space suits to decontaminate the entire area.
