more heroic service from the post office

Two weeks ago, late Sunday evening, exhausted, I paid my bills the old-fashioned way.  For at least one bill, I put the stub in the envelope, the check in, sealed it, and forgot about postage or a return address.  Then the next morning, still in another world, I mailed the bill.

A few days ago I got my payment back, with a stamped message on the envelope, "Return for Postage."  How did it manage to get back to me?  Well, a postal worker apparently opened the envelope, found my address, wrote it on the outside of the envelope, and had it sent back to me.  What incredible, caring, dedicated service!  You don't get that with email.

Whether it's finding a missing return address or working through a blizzard to bring us our mail, the postal service delivers.  Go postal!

postal service delivers

Greg, our neighborhood's unstoppable postal carrier, made his deliveries today.  He even brought packages to individual apartment doors.  Especially for a guy working on Saturday, he definitely deserves some neighborhood appreciation.
