stickmakerYesterday I downloaded and filled out a form to send to the folks who manage my IRA. I put it in my mailbox. It was gone when I brought in the mail later.
Today - when checking to see if the mail had been delivered early - I found that envelope, laid down in my mailbox and hard to see, and soaking wet, with the stamp missing.
The envelope was ruined. In fact, it fell apart as I was inspecting it. The form was in better shape, the three pages rather damp but intact. By good fortune the ink I used hadn't run.
I addressed and stamped a new envelope, let the form dry for a while, then refolded it and put it in the new envelope. That went back in the box. Hopefully it gets picked up today. Monday is a holiday.
