Weekend in Fallston

Megan and I drove to TB’s house on Friday after work. On our way out I relized that I didn’t have any clean socks so we stopped at the store before getting on the highway. It was good that we stopped though becasue I was able to get some Sour Skittles to fuel me through the drive. We arrived in good time despite getting stuck in a little bit of rush hour traffic and passing a huge RV fire.

On Saturday we got up and drove to Delaware. We read through and signed the lease, and then took a look at the apartment (we could only see the outside). After that, we drove down the main road near our place to see what’s around it. Then we headed into downtown Wilmington, toward the Bowlerama. We stopped to eat, bowled a few games, and then drove back to TB’s.

On our way back we decided that we would go out and take pictures of post offices for Postal Gallery. We had actually talked about it the last time I was in MD but we never got around to doing it. When we got to TB’s, we found the nearest post offices and headed out to take pictures. We were able to get pictures of seven in just a couple hours.

When we got back we talked talked about all of the other cool stuff you could do with the website and then noticed that Postal Gallery hadn’t been updated since 04/29/03. At this point we decided that we could make a much better postal photo tracking system ourselves. Immediately, TB started working on a Perl script to get a comprehensive list of all of the post office locations in the US from the USPS website. As of now, it’s searched about half of the country. I’ll give more details as the project progresses.
