Stamps.com bug - Will not accept address EL34XYZ 2022-04-27 | This is a bug that has been in stamps.com version 18 and now it is in version 19.Some valid addresses cannot be selected in a drop down menu. I have detailed this bug several times with screen shots and several addresses and sent it to stamps.com support.All I get back is a generic email saying they are sorry, why don't you call in.I called in once and I get someone sitting at home that has no idea how to fix this.

Snow Plow stuck in deep snow off of road. Fork lift nearly tips over. Off road recovery EL34XYZ 2022-01-17 | We had 13 inches of snow here in Western, NC on 01/16/2022.This snow plow plows our private road, but went off the road into the ditch.A flat bed tow truck could not pull him back up onto the road.There were no other towing options available this day.You really needed a tow truck with a boom arm to lift this plow back onto the roadAnother masonry company came to the rescue with a block fork lift.It took a while but they got it done eventually.At the 7 minute mark, the fork lift nearly tips over and the drive bails out of the cab.I did not know this at the time but the left front tire had come off the rim. They had to take one of the dual axle rear wheels off to make the plow drivable.
