It's a Good Thing I Didn't Order Life-Saving Medicine...

...through the MAIL this week.

Monday.

That's the last day I got any mail whatsoever.

Wednesday.

That's the day it stopped snowing.

Friday.

That's today - the FOURTH day with NO mail in my mailbox.

And YES, I always get mail every day, with maybe one day out of 60 where we just genuinely have no mail. So it's not just a personal dry spell in mail. It's just a dry spell of mail carriers on my block, apparently.

Seems that whole "...Neither rain nor hail nor sleet nor snow ..." thing went out the window at some point, huh.

But hey, did you hear they are raising some of the postage rates again in January? So at least they're busy working on THAT. Not delivering MAIL, or anything, but hey, I saw their website. They are ON TOP of their next postage increase. Whew. Good to know.

Oh, and they were ALSO on top of telling the news, basically, that it's too yucky for their trucks and vans, and if you don't get your mail, that's just too darn bad, pretty much.

USPS: FAIL.

PS - While my street has been a mess, I'll confess, (inserted rhyme for you, no less...) the sidewalks have been clear since the day it stopped snowing. Our carriers walk to deliver. And I know it's cold, but dude...you're a MAIL CARRIER.
