"Your Child Has Arrived in Your Mailbox"

What would you think if you got that message relayed to you? Would you wonder what the heck it was about? My beloved sent me a little clip that was on the Oldtimers Facebook page with the following picture from the Smithsonian Magazine. . According to the post, prior to 1920, you could actually mail children in the US, as long as they met a few rules. They had to weigh under 50 pounds, and…

Senator Platt's Express Purpose For Being In the U.S. Senate -

May 29, 1907

Senator Platt sits atop the U.S. Senate, as the U.S. Parcels Post attempts to escape. Platt is 'alias President Platt of the United States Express Company'.

The caption reads  'Is very likely to be thwarted at the next session, when the Parcels Post Bill comes up'

Platt had worked to prevent the addition of parcel post to the U.S. Post Office, as he was previously president of an independent delivery company.

Can't explain how funny an Odasaku and Adam duo would be. I know it doesn't work in canon but I think people who haven't gone through the narration in both Dark Era and Day I Picked Up Dazai understand how objectively hilarious Oda is without even trying to be. Add that to Adam's general weirdness and you have, I think, the set-up for an entire buddy cop movie, except it's an android who eats gum and thinks pretending to be a pigeon and telling android jokes are good ways of interacting with people (he's right actually) and a mafia member who refuses to kill and responds to events that would have any sane person quitting their job and moving out of the city like it's a passing breeze.

Imagine them working together. Imagine them investigating. They both think the other is entirely normal and connect over having to look out for their respective self-destructive teenagers they bonded with.

Said self-destructive teenagers are watching them from a distance, baffled and horrified, because neither of them is responding to anything in a remotely normal way.

And if they had the slightest bit more self-awareness, they would know that is literally exactly how everyone else, including the two men they are currently judging, feels about the two of them when they interact in any capacity.

I HAVE MADE LEGS!

Just need to do the waistband (and hemming) and I am doooone with the pj bottoms for eldest!

Look at this seam joining!

That's almost dead on target! Not bad for a learner. XD (Yes, still classify myself as a beginner because this is within the first ten items I have sewn. XD) And, because I remembered this time, I've been finishing my seams! Boom baby!

Right, gonna get at least part of this waistband done then I'm off to bed.
