Post Office Failure

I checked the mail two days ago and found a letter that should have been delivered to another address.  That isn't incredibly unusual--sometimes you find something for a previous tenant or for someone down the street.  This wasn't the case this time.  I live on Highland Avenue...the address was for Highland Street (same building number) in a city in Connecticut!

I mapped the distance from the correct address (after checking to make sure that the address did indeed exist).!

But do you want to know the best part?  The letter wasn't mailed from nearby Kentucky, from Ohio, or even someplace out west like California.  It was mailed from Connecticut!  So the Post Office sent this letter (with the correct zip code and a valid address) 750 miles out of its way.
