My copy arrived here this afternoon, 3/3 for a total of 3 weeks plus a day in transit (emphasis on the ...sit -- I'm sure they sat somewhere for much of that time). Perhaps it might help for you to understand the process.  Let me explain how I prepare an issue for mailing.  Groups of zip codes beginning with the same 3 digits can be bagged together if they total 6 or more.  Ten such bags are sent directly to the distribution center (Salt Lake City, Denver, Portland, etc.) for each group.  The remaining ungroupable (is there such a word?) copies go in a another bag for national distribution that is done locally in So. California.  This bag contains more than half the copies mailed and includes mine.  So it's easy to see that great variances can occur when we utilize 11 distribution centers, each working at a different pace.  Most of them are slo-o-o-o-o-w!
