LIBERTY BELL IN LAS VEGAS BELLAGIO ATRIUM?"Starting in the 1880s, the Bell traveled to cities throughout the land "proclaiming liberty" and inspiring the cause of freedom." Did it end its journey in Las Vegas?
The Liberty Bell is "a very significant symbol for the entire democratic world."– Nelson Mandela, Philadelphia Inquirer, July 4, 1993.
USPS & AUSTRALIAN CUSTOMS COLLUDE TO FOIL GUARANTEED REFUND FOR L.E.FANT?
L.E. decided to send “The Bears” to his twin grand daughters (now 120 days old) by Express Mail International which has a guaranteed delivery date. Because of size restrictions two packages had to be made up (hence the previously mentioned visit to the Box Brothers http://www.boxbros.com/locations/lasvegas.php).
The packages were guaranteed by USPS to be delivered in Australia by March 31, 2008 or money back. One package was so delivered, The other languished in Australian Customs for a further two days and failed to be delivered until April 2, 2008.
L.E.’s wife called USPS to enquire regarding how to obtain the refund of postage as the package was not delivered within the specified time. (some $80.00 for that package’s stamp). She was rudely informed that the guarantee did not apply as the package was held up in customs and, therefore, the guarantee has no effect. When asking the USPS representative for details of the regulation which provided for that result she was informed that the agent did not know the regulation. L.E.'s wife found the USPS regulation, and it does exclude refund for such delays.
L.E. asks what is the point of the guarantee? Is it merely as sales tool?
Every package must clear overseas’ customs. One may reasonably conclude that our USPS had made arrangements with overseas post offices that Express mail packages would be treated as express items (and not be left to languish in customs sheds as is apparently the case), and, therefore a delivery date is actually able to be guaranteed. Clearly there is no point in offering a guarantee where it is meaningless as appears the case here. Shame on our U.S.P.S. for misleading L.E. Fant and others. Let his superior readers take heed.
POLL RESULTS:
75% of superior respondents are "dog people," the remaining 25% are "cat people."
DOG REPORT:
"The Dog" is back at the vet's. She will still not eat and now needs an IV to provide nutrients and antibiotics. Yesterday she was diagnosed with a badly infected bladder. Today she is being X rayed for cancerous growths in her intestinal tract. L.E. is anxiously awaiting news of her condition and further hopes the news is good news.
L.E. Fant for himself and on behalf of his superior readers hereby refutes idiotic claims/inferences of Las Vegas Idiot:
The Las Vegas Idiot claims that L.E. Fant and L.E.’s superior readers are living in the past. See: http://lasvegasidiot.com/
He mocks us by referring to the defunct New Frontier and the recent Stardust images posted here as being in the past, or history.
As L.E.’s superior readers are aware L.E. made posts, when topical and timely, regarding the demise of the Frontier. L.E. noted that he rejoiced when the smelly old building was demolished.
If one cares to ponder the Idiot’s accusations, one may easily conclude that he is indeed properly named.
Any photographic image is historical in nature. The instant the image is captured it becomes part of history. Therefore, even images produced by the Idiot are historical images. Sharing memories with others is to be encouraged and usually enriches our lives. L.E. Fant’s superior readers are not living in the past, they are, however, enjoying reminiscing about the past, an important distinction which the Idiot apparently fails to grasp.
Do Not Forget these games relieve stress for some:
