    sorry i haven't kept you guys updated.

    screen name problems.

    and then i was away from home a bunch in the past couple weeks.

    i've got it, i hope that it will be done and sent by this weekend.

    one of my shots is taken, the pages are moving along nicely.

     

    almost finished.

    i'd say heat may be a likely culprit.

     

    post office trucks are not insulated, so they won't cost shit, this means that during the winter, they get frozen and during the summer they get cooked.

     

    maybe insuring the package gets it handled better and maybe placed on an insulated truck.

    dunno.

     

    but, they obviously pay more attention to the care of the package.

     

    i don't think battery powered stuff can't be insured, i was just saying it was restricted. what this means for us, i don't know exactly. they might just want to put an extra sticker on it. they might also say that to get them out of trouble when batteries get ruined in unisured packages.

     

    i'll ask my friend whats up with insured packages, what they do or do not go through on the way.

     

     

    aside from all that, we've learned the hard way.

     

    so, when i get it and have to pass it on, i will insure it, and let's get that going for the rest on the list as well.

    so, it's the film that's dying, or the camera, or both?

     

    i don't think xrays could kill a battery.

     

    we could have the thing insured as well.

    at least that way, new film would be replaced.

     

    apparently battery powered items are classified as restricted by USPS.

     

    technically, we weren't even supposed to send that thing internationally.

     

    i dunno.

    i'll look into it more.

    more talk.

     

    i can buy new film if i have to.

     

    aluminum foil would block the xray, but it might make the package look really suspicious.

     

    as much as we'd all like to think our government is on top of things, they are not.

     

    the post office is not xraying [all] packages.

    i can pretty much guarantee this.

    i know some post office people.

     

    it may have happened travelling overseas, but nothing is being xrayed from point AtoB in the continental u.s.

     

    wrapping the film and the camera itself (as opposed to the entire box) in foil wouldn't be a bad idea.

    i mangled one of mine trying to get them off.

    i gave up because it didn't seem worth it

    now it's just a rusty chunk of metal stuck to the frame.

     

    i didn't bother with any of the other ones after that disaster.
