Stamps

I got out a stamp this morning and realize how much I hate having to deal with mailing snail mail.  I know the Post Office is considering the idea of reducing mail delivery to only weekdays, and I wonder how I’ll feel about that.

I like getting mail. It comes everyday at about 2:30, and the dogs have a barking fit.  Of course, the mail lady is scared to death of my dogs.  But the dogs love the opportunity to raise justifiable hell for a few minutes.

We need mail and the Postal Service, but something makes me wonder about how much longer it will be able to continue.  Most of us live on e-mail and spam rather than snail mail and junk.  On the other hand, I can’t mail books without some sort of physical delivery process, and the cost using the Post Office’s media mail is very reasonable. Of course, there are always e-books.
