A few minutes ago somebody rang my doorbell. And I didn't answer it because I was here. Then there was knocking. I worried it was my elderly next door neighbor having some kind of issue. If I didn't answer - I'd feel guilty. As I went to the door through the window I could see it was an old couple I didn't know. Great. A few weeks ago the Mormons also did the shtick where they ring the doorbell and knocked too. I might put up a "no soliciting" sign. I really hate this shit.

When I opened the door there was a package right there. I really wondered what was up. It turned out they it that out of the rain and they were with the democratic party. After a few seconds I let them know I wasn't interested and I thanked them for moving my package. So far - no story.

Then I went out to my mailbox and there was a handwritten postcard in cursive with a stamp and a postmark and my address also handwritten.

Dear InevitableSwing,

I'm mystified how the postcard has a postmark. Maybe it's fake? The couple's efforts annoyed me and sort of creeped me out.

I just realized I was so freaked out - I missed a possible obvious solution to the postcard mystery. It was dumb luck. Maybe they sent it yesterday or two days ago. (1) I happened to get the postcard in the mail today. (2) They happened to show up after my mail was delivered and not before.
