Is your local post office in trouble? Here's a list of the ones they're considering closing.
I hope all this talk of the U.S.P.S. going under or being sold to the highest bidder doesn't happen. I'm a big fan of the post office which I think provides a vital service for way less than it oughta cost and does it much more efficiently than most folks admit. I really don't understand how a lot of things would work if we didn't have it and folks had to pay FedEx rates for what we can now send for U.S.P.S. rates. I look at the mail my mother receives: Notices of doctor appointments, cards from friends her age, desirable coupons and ads for local merchants, etc. I've converted most of her bills to online billing and I handle those that way…but there are still some that have to be handled via paper.
She doesn't and can't do e-mail or go online. A lot of folks can't and many don't have someone like me to do what can be done online for them. How would they get what they now get via postal delivery?
