Jonny,
I haven't received my issue yet.  Wanted to make sure the same thing doesn't happen this year like last year.  I renewed my membership as soon as I received notification of renewal being due. Would you please check to make sure I'm on the mailing list?

Thanks for your help.

I did send an email to the publishing folks, but most likely will not hear anything back until Monday. I will post an update when I have more information.

Pagoda World 30 was mailed out on or about 18 February.

They should be in your mailbox shortly. Believe it or not, one member here in SoCal (usually among the last in the US to see the magazine) received his a couple of days ago.

Jonny,
Just a heads up, I still haven't received my copy of Pagoda World 30.  With today's mail service who knows what happened.
Cheers,

"Tom & the Secrets" will be a hit with Calla!   She's recovering from a hip replacement and I'm sure she will be so tickled to see herself mentioned again and it will probably give her a boost toward faster recovery!

I am glad to report that my copy finally arrived yesterday! I give the USPS some credit. It is such a long way to Northeast Ohio.... :o

Thanks for the smile Mike.  Reminds me of a part I ordered last year from Mississauga, about a 45 minute drive from where I live.  I watched this on Canada Posts tracking site.  The parcel went from Mississauga to Montreal (yes the one in Quebec) to Kitchener and finally to Stoney Creek (a half hour from me) and then my place.  Took 4 days.  I figure someone in Montreal must have figured out that my Jordan address was not in the middle east.

Marcus:

I am not sure, if it is the sender or the carrier...
Last year I ordered a set of DVDs from PBS. They came from Hudson, Ohio, where their fullfillment center is. 20 minutes from my home.
The package went to some place in Central Ohio, then to Toledo, then to Michigan. It finally arrived here 12 days after it left the facility..
I keep hearing complaints that USPS is running in the red. That must cost something???

Chris in Nashville.
Glad you liked the pictures, I hope Calla sees this and comments.
JonB original comment when he saw the original pictures was " That Looks like a Mouse Hotel".

I am waiting to hear from my friends in the club about their comments.

Still haven't received mine either, in Long Beach. Odd since several others in the area did receive theirs. The USPS moves in mysterious ways.
