Yesterday was a red letter day for the ol' post office. I come out this morning to get my mail.

7 pieces of mail
1 for my address
6 for other addresses, none the same
Of which, 1 is a different street altogether.

As I'm standing there chuckling, an elderly neighbor lady comes up to give me a piece of mail, *****ing about the postal service. I thank her, sharing in my thoughts about our illustrious government efficiency. Only to look down after she left, wrong address.

So I delivered 7 different pieces of mail this morning. That has to be a record, right? At least I go my exercise in.

My ex lives in WI and had mail forwarding. My father sent a card to my kid (with me) and it was returned noting that the forwarding expired. Impressive really.

Obviously didn't have a gift card so USPS let it slide

That's more than the post office delivered today!

I'm old enough to remember when postal workers were competent and friendly. Our mail lady used to stop and take her break at our house sometimes. She'd come in and have coffee with my mom. That was along time ago!

On MLK Day, I ordered a Texans shirt to wear to work the Friday before the Ravens game. The shirt had free one-day shipping. I'm still waiting.

It was a misprint, not one day delivery, it was one month.

Is this fixed, or are dems going to use this as an excuse to manufacture ballots to get their guy in as DA?

Called it. ABC13 just ran a story about delays and mail-in ballots not being received by voters, or back to the county clerk.

Would be crazy if certain zip codes still got their ballots delivered/returned and certain zip codes did not

Surely this would never happen

And old Johnny Carson joke from years ago still rings true today:

"125 years ago it used to take a full week for the postal service to deliver mail from St. Louis to San Francisco via Pony Express. Nowadays with the arrival of scanning equipment, computers and even air mail, they've managed to shave a full day off that delivery time."
