That's the point of your "forever stamps". They are still good, even after the rates go up.

Saturday delivery would be cut. They've been talking about it for decades...not just a few years.

In doing some research, I found out the PO used to delivery twice a day...back in the 1930s or so...I don't even get that much mail! However, this was back when many people didn't even have a telephone. Lots more mail. Actual hand-written letters!

yeah, but we can't have people take personal responsibility, otherwise they would be active.

I dunno, I'll just miss seeing the "mail lady" on the weekends. She comes up to the farm in a truck and I can generally tell what time it is by the time that she arrives.

My post office is cutting back a half hour in the morning and an hour at night. I just saw it posted this afternoon.
