Well @Blue-Jay the comedic postal sagas continue. I went to the post office today with the idea of mailing your 2nd box and, low and behold, the federal computer program they use for creating the stickers for packages & tracking is down and out. Apparently this began yesterday morning, and thus far, has resulted in some near brawls at the postal counter. I'm quite friendly with this postal lady as she's worked there for as long as I've been mailing stuff and she shared the scoop that I'm fortunate to have avoided the various colourful spectacles of impatience among upset customers (I was alone when I went this afternoon). So, I will go back tomorrow and see if the program is working again yet, and I think I might put on a helmet just in case. 
What a year so far of mailing beans and it's only January!!! Strikes, increases, brawls...what next?
On the positive side of today, I was elated to find a mailer full of beans from Spain in my mailbox! I did a trade with a really nice grower there, she's a real bean afficionado too, and looky looky at the goodies she sent!
I'm especially interested in the Blue Sword pole beans! Kinda thrilling!
