Check is in the mail

[Jeannie Grassi]

Ron,
I used to tune for a public school system that left small payments out of
petty cash, for the office secretary to pay out.  They always gave me the
check on the spot when I showed up.  Of course, if my prices would have gone
up, beyond what they considered petty cash, I don't know if that would have
continued.  But I was just as surprised as you, when it happened...and on
more than one occasion!

Even less believable. Who in a school system would write a personal 
check for hired service? Nope, it's an official USD 361 check. I 
handled it carefully when it arrived in case the ink was still wet, 
or it was booby trapped. But no, it's just a check, only early. I 
don't see how this kind of timing is even possible in school 
systems, but there it was. Maybe the geeks in the science lab will 
have their time machine prototype working by the second week of 
December and test it with that check - which hasn't been cut yet.

That's not it. I looked, and it's dated 11/18/2005. It was mailed 
Friday, and arrived Saturday. Overnight service from both the school 
system, and the USPS. That's even spookier.
