I received the weirdest, most random mail ever Wednesday: one ticket to the Indianapolis 500 practice, one ticket to the Indianapolis 500 qualifications, a lunch voucher for the 500 Festival, and a schedule of events for the Friends of the Festival Appreciation Day - events that occurred last month - in a hand-written envelope from Indianapolis.
1. I make fun of racing and, to a degree, people who watch it - mostly this is limited to serious fans. I'm just being honest here (sorry Dad...but FYI I never make fun of you). And in my defense, my making fun of people is never mean and is mostly just in my head.
2. These tickets were for an event that happened a month ago!
3. To my knowledge, I know no one who lives in Indianapolis, let alone Indiana.
4. My name was misspelled on the envelope - a misspelling I've never seen before: Angelar. But my last name, the name most people mess up, was fine. As was the rest of my address.
5. I looked up the return address on line (it was provided sans name). Nothing came up on the white pages reverse directory and Google maps street view showed a residential neighborhood.
6. There have been no weird or unexplained charges on my checking account or credit card.
7. On ebay, these month-old tickets would score me $10. Maybe.
It's a mystery! Is anyone out there who thinks they may have an answer or at least another clue?
