Maybe see if the current Pope would dispatch a commando team of Swiss Guards to "liberate" the Pope rifle and convey it to you? Sort of a professional courtesy for a predecessor. 

I wonder if Pope suffered Pope jokes when he was alive?

Five Our Fathers and Ten Hail Marys.  For added insurance, a donation to the church building fund…

I wonder how many Popes have been asked where they get the time to make barrels? Harry 'Pius' Pope the second could show up advertising in the SSJ if a miracle occurs.

There seems to have been a miracle involved with this package. It arrived in a Seattle at 6:51 am on the 13th and then arrived in Reno at 12:11 pm. Maybe the post office is experimenting with teleportation.

Well looks like the rifle ran out of gambling funds and had to head back to Seattle. I figure a 50/50 chance it will be sent to the wrong location. If I a lucky it will be here tomorrow.

Well the DST .22 I bought at the same time was enjoying itself in Phoenix for a few days but when his brother the Pope rifle showed up in Seattle he decided to catch up.  Fingers crossed that both will show up at my Post Office tomorrow.

I mailed a package from central Oklahoma to central Missouri, it went to Denver, left Denver, back to Denver, left Denver, spent 10 days crossing Kansas before finally making the final destination. About 2 weeks total for what would be a 5 hour drive from my house. I think it was trying to stay in the mountains and avoid our hot days.

Long time ago I ordered a berry juicer from Finland. This was in the early days of tracking number technology. The juicer was going from Portland to Seattle and then to Port Angeles and then to Portland and... I live near Quilcene. So I finally called Fedex and asked them if I needed to stand in my yard and shoot the airplane down to get my juicer. There was sixteen gallons of huckleberries in the fridge trying to ferment. A week after my call the juicer arrived.

Wild huckleberries. Yum. Our scout troop was camping up in the north cascades in late august. We had picked a bunch of berries one Friday afternoon. We awoke Saturday morning early to the scoutmaster hollering to get up and get packed since it had started snowing that night. He had a large pot of oatmeal with the huckleberries ready to eat as we scrambled to get off the mountain. Long time ago Joe. Long time.
