Operation Intel Grab

So I made a fatal mistake in my mission to update my blog with some photos of the Postal employees who are locked out by Canada Post. Little did I know that while trying to snap photographs for my loyal blog readers it would land me in some hot water.
I will explain it before I post the crucial pictures. Basically I parked across the street and crossed the street (about a block away) with camera in hand. Mistake #1. Mistake #2 was leaning on a truck across the street and taking pictures from a crouched angle. It actually looked like I had something to hide.
So as I was reviewing the pictures I had taken I seen a postal worker walking towards me. I was panic city and cut through a back way to get out of their. There was a building in between us. I come out the back and there was more postal workers heading towards me. I started to run away while they were shouting at me. Classic.
My car was abadoned there and I had to come back later for it. Thankfully nothing happened to it. The sad thing is that I'm on the employees side and believe in a decent wage and believe in having union to protect the middle class. Plus I keep them in business with my mail art and my pen pals. Why target me?

Here are the sensitive photos :





And as a bonus I took a picture of the locked out mailboxes that are throughout Canada :





Operation Intel Grab was a sucesss!

I can't even make it till Tuesday!

So the mail is still on lockout (in Canada) so I cannot send or recieve mail. Sorry to my pen pals and fellow postcrossers. I'm curious to see how long this goes on. And I wonder how long it will take for the postworkers to deliver how the backlogged mail.



Since I have to no mail to talk about I will entertain you with some old school nintendo action. My buddy is crushing me in the old school game called Paper Boy 2. Now for those not familar with North American video games from the 80's Paper Boy is a game where you have to deliver "newspapers" on your route to all your customers and survive one week without losing all your subscribers or losing your all your "lives". How do you lose subscribers? If you miss their house or break their windows consider yourself out of a subscriber. And how do you lose a "life"? That's easy also: just get hit by a car or get bit by a dog. There are many ways to fail in Paper Boy. My buddy said I can't even make til Tuesday (of the delivery schedule). Ha.

Here is some action shots:

Deliver to that mailbox!

Not on my route! Time to hit him with a paper!


Noooo! Hit by car. A classic Paperboy death!


Fired??!!! Ouch!



This update should satisfy my loyal readers (and my friends) who have been zinging me and telling me to update this. And happy Fathers Day to everyone!
