The letter was mailed in 1945, but zip codes weren't around until 1963. Yet the letter had a zip code. So at some point between 1963 and 2022 some postal employee decided "Hey, maybe this decades-old letter will be delivered if we put a zip code on it."
The zip code doesn't look like it's done in the same hand as the rest of the thing, for sure. But I question the whole name. Isn't it "Gonҫalves"? I've never seen it spelled with an "s". (Nor have I seen "Gonsales" for the Spanish "Gonzales".) That doesn't mean it doesn't exist, but it sure makes my scalp itch.

The shrimp served in coastal restaurants is, in my considerable experience, previously frozen. It's very difficult to get fresh shrimp unless you can drive a boat to it. Sea-Pak brand is one I've seen used in many cloth napkin places, and I've seen it available in retail. I can't guarantee it's objectively good shrimp, some of us do live by the marina after all, but it's as good as the shrimp used at Anthony's restaurants and many others.
@@virtualhimeji462 so only eat it on the beach? Actually, at least in the US you might be right, with the supply chain issues. But under normal circumstances you should be able to get good shrimp just about anywhere. Flash frozen and properly thawed, it's pretty much the same everywhere.
They are I'll informed. And it not a common occurrence it's often tumultuous relationship. Runner and chaser. I heard Kourtney and her man say the same thing. Lol

Last summer my Italian husband finally bought a pair of crocs to wear around the yard and at one point he turned to me and said, “these shoes have dramatically increased my standard of living.”
I also ditched my shoes for more comfortable footwear. I call them "socks". What the fuck do you need to buy special (ugly) shoes for, if you're staying home? Socks and slippers is all you need. Throw those ugly whiffle shoes away.
i don't own a pair but they seem more akin to slippers expect for outside usage rather then inside. slip them on before you go, no fiddling with all of the noise of putting on shoes or whatever. what's ugly today will be pretty tomorrow. after all fashion is a trend, it isn't something that sticks around. big world events change fashion trends all the time.
4:14 funny story I was homeschooled and went to public high school for two years, and the first year I was there, I was bored in piano and accidentally had my hand just like Ronald in that picture, and I saw the girl looking at me from another piano and I stuck my tongue out between my fingers to show how bored I was. Took my classmates 5 minutes to stop being shocked and explain what that meant. That’s what you get for being homeschooled, 10 years late to every party
I used to wear Crocs all the time when we lived on the farm. Easy to clean, easy to get on and off, comfortable, won't get ruined if I have to go into the water (we lived between a small river that regularly flooded, and a stream, so there was always a need to get to the other side it seemed) I live in a small city now and have given up my Crocs, but tbh, I miss them.
