People Want It, but... - Wednesday, 27 August

 

Have you noticed the number of mailboxes dwindling at post offices and around town?  Well, they’ve even been eliminated from the airport.  I had a couple of things that I really needed to drop off, but couldn’t find the box in its usual location so I asked the lady at the help desk and she confirmed that USPS had removed all but one, which it was outside the secure area (and many other people have asked!).  Crazy.  I mean, ya have lots of time to kill after checking in for your flight, time in which you could, oh, maybe be writing a letter and want to drop it in the mail.  Too bad!  Apparently the "Service" part of USPS' mission ain't so important any more.

Here’s my traditional “Last Burger Before Paris” at Stone Arch, today with a MetroNOME “Altbier” amber ale.  Yum yum and always a good sign of adventures to come!
