Robin

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."
~ C.S. Lewis

Last time there was a postage hike, my regular mail lady quit. She would have mail to us by 2pm at the latest. Now...we have gosh knows who delivering it around 6:30pm...unless there's a package...then it doesn't actually get delivered until the next day...most times!

( frown ) I am sure it will still be worth it.

They raise rates so people find alternatives to the mail and the Post Office loses customers. To make up for the losses, the Post Office raises rates and more people find alternatives to the mail and the Post Office loses customers.......

dandresow: Thanks. Haven't done anything with rocks for years. Just fixed an older HP 18 inch and dug out a 10 inch and 18in Lortone and I have a couple of trim saws and need to make something to cab with. We stay broke and I only have enough to put oil in 1 Dec 1, 2024 16:49:20 GMT -5 *
