This is terrible news for Puna renters:
Monday
Hilo Landlord: "Your rent check is over two weeks late. Again."
Puna Renter: "Oh gosh, I'm sorry. The check's in the mail. You should have it tomorrow."
Hilo Landlord: "OK."
Tuesday:
Hilo Landlord: "I checked my Post Office Informed Delivery account and they show no scanned image of your check."
Puna Renter: "I'm sure I mailed it. Let me look... oh! Here it is! Now I remember, I ran out of stamps the day I was going to mail it. I'll run it down to the PO today."
Wednesday:
Hilo Landlord: (leaving a message on voicemail) "Hello? Hello? I still don't see confirmation that your check was mailed. Let me know when you're home and I'll drive down to pick it up. OK? Call me as soon as you get this message. OK?"
On the fifth day - the scientists who studied the rivers - were forbidden to speak - or to study the rivers. -Jane Hirshfield's poem on creation
