Thank you so much, Edie. I saw Jack the Mailman on his last day, in front of the PRHA Museum as I was starting a custom Christmas Eve History Hike for my neighbor Katia’s in-laws. I took some photos of Jack in his signature shorts, sportin his retirement pendant his grateful coworkers at the P.O. had given him. I’m going to write an article about Jack for the next issue of TPIT.

I’m completely lost on the Mystery Theme, even with Aguilera-izing inference. Tyson, I’ll be definitely dusting off my Jumping Jitterbugs dance shoes! 💃

"The rare four song set."

It's okay. And completely understandable.

And hopefully that statement didn't give anything away.. 😁

Ok.. I'm officially not a fan of Aguilera-izing classics from the American Songbook..

But please no implying in the chat.

I think you can infer the theme going forward.

Darn, right before Mystery Theme Song #2 was starting, I got a very important work call from our best Workers Comp doctor, giving me the lowdown on a possible fraud case, so I missed all of Song #2 and #3.

My mom used to shop at that Capwells. I still have her Emporium-Capwell's "credit card," which was a aluminum plate with her name and a number on it.

"It was also the only Capwell store to not change its signs after the name change to 'Emporium-Capwell' in the early 80's...One reason for this I heard was the huge rooftop 'Capwells' sign. In the 1970's the city of El Cerrito made businesses get rid of tall signs in the interest of decluttering and beautification. But Capwells, being the city's largest tax revenue generator was granted an exemption. However, they were not permitted to alter it in any way. Therefore, none of the signs were changed...It was only after the 'Capwell' was dropped entirely in the 90's that the store was permitted to change the sign to 'Emporium'. Ironically, Federated bought and closed the store only a couple of years after the sign changed."

The Emporium-Capwell.

Talk about burying the lede: "The second prize of £50,000 has also been claimed in Guernsey." Wait, I guess mentioning the winner first was the right editorial choice.

I want to buy you one of those tickets, Tyson. Next year... next year.
