it was a remarkable race, a staggering finish. and the award for "first non-forwarded mail item to arrive at NB, addressed to me" goes to, with an excellent time of 16 days: the tireless nelnet. warmest regards to all participants in the unannounced competition at hand; obviously, though, your best is simply not good enough for the joint venture formed by the loan foundations and the USPS: working for you around whatever your clock says, pleading non-business hours whenever you'd like to make reciprocal contact.

*don't worry: you can still win: comments posted here are worth even more than ones sent out, through the elements and seasons, with or without yellow address labels. and that, my friends, is a blatant lie.
