Ambiguity

I saw something on the cold wet ground in Downtown Providence today. It looked like a snake. It wasn't moving. But I don't know if it was the remains of a real snake, some kind of joke prop, or just something that happened to have that shape and those contours.

I hope it wasn't a real snake, just because it doesn't seem like it would be a very dignified end for one.

I also hope it wasn't a snake - probably not and our eyes do play tricks on us.

I just looked up the tracking number on the Christmas parcel we sent you and it says 'delivery pending'. I guess it's waiting at the post office - here's the number just in case you don't have a delivery notice:

CX648743159CA

Talk to you soon 💕

Hi-ya. Perhaps I should have mentioned this before. I have received a parcel from you guys. Haven't opened it yet, though looking forward to that. The Post Office must have just goofed.

The snake was right next to the skating rink downtown (which I'm not sure was there the last time you were here). So that's another one for the case that it was really something else that kind of looked like a snake.
