Postage Increase

Postage rates are going up again, causing the regular ranters to go at it again. I won’t join them. Like you, I wish postage and everything else would stay the same price. It never has, though, so let’s get over it. Postage is still one of the biggest bargains in the country. For less than fifty cents someone will come to my actual home, take a card out of my mailbox, fly it on a multi-million dollar airplane anywhere – get this – anywhere – in the nation, then hand deliver it to the person I choose. Not in six weeks, not even two weeks, but in two or three days! Amazing! I don’t know about you, but there are precious few things I would do for fifty cents. The US mail would be a bargain even if it cost a dollar per letter. So, please, spare me the whiners that cry over spending an extra penny. They need to get a life.
