99.
no, not like 99 bottles of beer on the wall.
99 is the postal term for having a walking inspection of your route.
my 99 was just over a week ago, and fortunately, the supervisor that walked with me
was one of the good guys.
the weather was brisk and snowy.
the conversation was interesting.
at about the halfway point of the inspection he broke out this beautiful story.
his mom is getting on in years..somewhere in her 80's.
she has several friends that all look after each other.
one of them can hear, one can drive, one has a good memory..they all kind of pool their talents to get along.
the interesting thing about this group of ladies is that they also sing together
at people's funerals.
they call their singing group The Deadbeats!!!!!!
i don't think anyone knows that they call themselves this.
one of the Deadbeats passed away and left explicit instructions that the other Deadbeats were NOT to sing at her funeral because they suck (not her exact words).
hearing this story almost made the entire inspection worth the hassle.
