Chasing Mail

On Thurs, Feb 23, 2012, it was a beautiful day outside.   For Feb, it was very warm and windy.   Did I say windy?
I went to my mailbox to get my mail and the minute I pulled it out, the wind kicked up and blew 2 of my pieces down the street.  I knew that one was a water bill so I started running after it.  I had 2 other packages and more mail in my arms as I was frantically chasing this bill.  My car was half in and out of the driveway and the engine was running with the driver door open.
3 times I got close to the bill and 3 times it blew further away.   After running almost to the cove, finally it landed near me and I stepped on the bill, thereby trapping it in the mud puddle.

Here is the bill with my shoe print on it.   Perfect sample for a CSI!!!!
After I retrieved that soggy, muddy bill, I backtracked to search for my other piece of blown mail.  Luckily, it had only traveled a few feet and landed in the curb in a puddle of water.   Success!  I picked up that dripping bill and carried ALL  of my mail into the house.
Whew!   So glad that I do run for exercise and that I am in shape.  Also glad that I was wearing running shoes....I certainly didn't want to aggravate my heels and start that heel pain all over again.
So....mail was rescued and dried out.   All turned out fine.  Too bad someone didn't film me and post it on YouTube.   Could have been a viral sensation!
