    Indeed...thank you Matt.

    And with that I think I'll stick with my choice of the "lighter/brighter" red field pleats as seen in photo #2

    Thanks again Matt & everyone!

    Unhappy Jonesin'.....

    Well, I been anxiously checking the Fed Ex parcel tracker. It's scheduled for delivery this Saturday, and I know it has left North Carolina and is in route....but where in the world is it?!?

    Blasted Fed Ex had a message saying the tracker would be updated today....but as of yet...nothing!!! Aaaargh!!!

    Oh the horror....the horror....

    Now that really is poor service. A working week from NC to DC?
    It’s as bad as the South African Post Office!
    Regards,

    I might be mistaken but I think it is traveling all the way to Washington state not DC. So from the south eastern US all the way to the extreme north west US about 2500 miles or more. Just saying Fed Ex is actually pretty good especially compared to the US post office which leaves a lot to be desired.
