This is what my mail looks like lately. Do you see anything useful in here? I don't. More often than not, I walk directly to my recycle bin and dump most or all of it. I think the USPS is killing more trees than it is actually delivering mail. The famous inscription on the James A. Farley building, which is the main post office in New York City, says: "Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds." Well, I'm afraid that prediction was a little premature; it's hard to complete rounds when there's nothing to complete. Apparently the US Post Office is a dying breed. They're losing more money than they're making: hence yet another increase in your postage stamp (the latest featuring Bart Simpson; boy, isn't our Federal Government displaying the intelligent side of our country). Don't get me wrong, it's nice to receive that personal letter or card in the mail (my mom is the only one who sends me these), but inspite of good intentions, I never use snail mail unless I have too. Yet another way our hard-earned tax dollars go down the toilet: delivering junk mail by the billions of dollars.
