Packing

[Dave]

No new commentary - just tired of seeing 'Oacking' as the
subject line, and merely corrected the spelling on the thread.

And yes, I had the same problem here at the post office - no
liquor boxes.  So I just don't use them anymore.  Our liquor stores
slit the top on the edge instead of the middle anyway, so they
are hard to properly close.
