Today's Tidbit:
Saw this on TV recently, get down to brass tacks supposedly comes from buying fabric when brass tacks were nailed into at store's countertop a measured distance apart. If you were a serious customer, the seller unrolled the fabric and measured it out to cut. If you were just looking, dreaming, window shopping, then you weren't ready to get down to brass tacks.

Yes, I have all sorts of nails, brads, tacks, screws, and assorted hardware. I probably even have brass tacks. Rusty anything I would throw out.
My garbage can in a half mile from my house. I have a long driveway. I put my trash bags in it as they get full. I try to make sure all trash is out by Wednesday evening as they pick up on Thursday.
I seldom get mail at my street address, but I have looked in the box on Sundays before. I have signed up for the service the post office provides to tell you when you have a letter, etc. My important mail goes to a P.O. Box.
My only complaint about Holidays is an increase in traffic if it makes a long weekend.
