US Postal Service...delivery

When I got home from work yesterday at noon, my recycle bin was in an odd place outside my back door. Like someone had moved it. But who?

I realized, after looking at it for a good 2 minutes, that there was a brown package underneath it.

The return address was unfamiliar on this good-sized brown box, closed with duct tape. Upon opening it, I found newspaper stuffed around a foil-wrapped rectangle.

It was a loaf of homemade bread.

My friend who lives in Iowa makes bread and the last time I talked with him I may have said something like - I love homemade bread. You should send me some.

I was joking. He was not.

And now I have a huge loaf of scrumtrulescent bread.

He wins.
