Just an update. Still no THL in South Bend. Maybe the trucks had multiple flat tires?

Tom: Does South Bend mail go through Chicago? The super-regional mail center in Chicago used to be a notorious black hole for bulk mail.
When I was doing a newsletter for another nonprofit about 15 years ago, I used to get reports that folks in that part of the country didn't see their issue for 5-6 *weeks*!

Mine arrived yesterday in Westville.  Great issue, too.

Not sure about Chicago, but I suspect it mkes a side trip to China first. LOL. I understand how it all works, just like to complain and gripe. It will arrive sooner or later, but my money is always on later.  ;D

My "official" copy of THL has yet to arrive in southern Wisconsin, and it certainly comes through Chicago.  Becaue I'm a contributor now (doing the Q&A section), Cecil had sent me a copy earlier, 1st Class I think, so it's no big deal for me.  But my regular member copy coming via snail-mailx4 is still lost somewhere in northern Illinois.  Maybe those geeks at Fermilab really did succeed in creating a black hole in their big particle accelerator down there.

Saints preserve us! The latest edition of the Hoosier Line has finally arrived here in South Bend. When I came home from my exercise workout, the Postman had just left it in the mailbox. Oh happy day.

P.S. Like Tim, I do had an advanced look, but it is my right to complain. Just kidding. Another great issue Cecil.

Finally got my copy of THL.  Drove to Salem and picked up a replacement.  Thanks Cecil for making it available.
