Bringing him in here too?
Nah, he was already in the neighborhood.

My daughter asked him how he was this past Shabbos, "Shabbat Shalom, Thank G-d! I may not have all I want, but I have all I need and then some and that's more than enough for me!"

Going to miss him and his smile when he retires.
Something about the carriers that have walking routes. I am going to guess with his seniority he chose that route.
Only on DDF does 24/6 mean 24/5/half/half

We have a very good UPS driver here, that actually delivers packages to doors instead of dumping in the lobby (yes, he's from the only ones still doing it), anyway, some thief stole a credit card and purchased an expensive item with it, and addressed the package to a local home here, so they can't track the buyer.
He awaited the package all day, and when the UPS driver approached the address he runs up requesting his package. The driver asked if he lives there, he said yes and wanted to sign for it. The driver said he'll be right back, and contacted the person that lives there (he has a contact list of alot of people to notify when he's in the area so we can drop off packages) and the thief was caught by Shomrim and then detained by Police.

The thief was armed with a loaded gun.
As a totally unrelated point. The theif is probably back on the street and multiple stolen packages ahead.

We saw Aaron through the window delivering our mail and invited him to stop in for Shabbos dessert today. Had a great long conversation with him (he's been at USPS for 36 years and on our route for 24 years) and at the end he stands up to leave, puts his hat back on, gets very serious, and says,

"I just want to let you guys know, that I do not stand behind Israel and what they've done..."

Gulp. All ~2 dozen of us at the meal panic inside.

"No. I stand with Israel, side by side, hand in hand, shoulder by shoulder, and will tell everyone that! I stand right by Israel in their actions!"

G-d bless Aaron Johnson. 1 more year until he retires. We sure will miss him!

Well, a dozen adults and a couple dozen kids, but not all the kids were at the table at the time.
