We have made our mailman.
Tumblr media
Our mailing service had a little piece of paper today complaining about how far the mailboxes were from the road. The plows have been doing a sucky job. So we had to get a temporary mailbox out there. I could have chose anything. But I decided to make a snowman. I was supposed to be shoveling. But now we have a mailman. Hopefully the mail service enjoys our hot take.

Kill on Sight Orders
The Flash fam has a secret. Okay so they have a lot of secrets, but there's one above all others.
A kill on sight order.
In the worst possible future (one of them there's a lot), a beast named Phantom decimated the world. He took out the entire Justice League, the entire Justice League Dark, any and all small-time heroes that stood in his way. All of it. Everyone.
If they see Phantom as a kid, to prevent the slightest possible chance of Phantom being a thing, it's kill on sight. They all have anti-ghost weapons that can destroy a ghost's core, locked away in a secure facility that they can just run to and grab real quick to get it done.
None of them like it. None of them can risk it.
Bart stumbles into a town that doesn't exist, almost gets got by a ghost that managed to possess him, and gets saved by...Phantom.
A scrawny, teenage Phantom.
He's funny, makes puns, worries about if Bart got hurt or not-he's nothing like the Bad Phantom!
He's not gonna kill his new friend! No way, no how.
But he's gotta keep it a secret from the other Speedsters now, because he doesn't know who came up with that rule but they probably won't understand, and then he'll have a speedster fight on his hands, and no one wants that.
But the government keeps sending letters of complaint to Max, and Max keeps asking why the government is mad at Bart now, and Bart can't tell him "oh it's because there's this town that is off the record and a secret and also where phantom is and i broke in" because that'd rat Phantom out, and even if he didn't mention Phantom Max would want to investigate.
The mailman doesn't understand why his letters keep disappearing but he thinks it might have something to do with the Flash, because there's always a red blur.

“Train Service Will Be Cut in Half,” Kingston Whig-Standard. February 15, 1933. Page 12.  ---- Brockville-Westport Service to Operate Every Other Day ---- BROCKVILLE, Feb. 1 - Effective at an early date, a reduction in train service on the Westport sub-division of the Canadian National Railway to proposed by the management of the company, which plans to substitute a three-days-per-week service between Brockville and Westport for the present daily-except-Sunday service. It is understood that the change will go into effect on February 19 and that the train will be operated on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. The alteration follows abandonment last summer of the gasoline "Jitney” service between Brockville and Westport and is said to be dictated by declining revenues from the operation of trains over the line. 
The change will drastically affect the handling of mails for Lyn, Athens, Soperton Delta, Phllipsville, Elgin, Crosby, Newborn, and Westport stations on the line and the proposal is being made that the conveyance of the mails for these centres with others outlying such as Lyndhurst, Harlem, and Chantry be handed over to the Anglin bus line which carries on a dally service between Brockville and Westport. Some months ago an Independent mall service for the village of Lyn from Brockville was inaugurated and more recently. It has been arranged that the courier from Toledo, instead of meeting B & W train at Forthton, shall continue into Brockville in order to carry the mails daily except Sunday for Frankville and Toledo. The courier on the Brockville to Athens mail route also now carries a lock bog for the latter village which thus boasts an improved twice-a-day postal service. 
It is felt that the different communities served by the B & W trains will protest against a three-times-a-week mail service, which must necessarily follow reduction of the trains operated on the sub-division and it is being argued in several of the communities in question that the mail contract should be turned over to the bus line, with which rural couriers could easily connect.

I appreciate that everyone thought Tango would take its easy this season after Decked Out. Go full grumpy old man, murdering anyone who bothered him. Yet here he is… building a redstone mail delivery service with dynamic chunk loading while still in his starter base.
Meanwhile, TCG mastermind and map connoisseur VintageBeef is *this* close murdering Iskall for touching his farmhouse walls.
