Of the stuff you’ve sent, you mean? ;^)

Two I’ve sent - and those only recently - and one I should have received. The last arrived weeks late, and looked like it had fallen into a mud puddle.

Stuff happens.

Did you know that Ben Franklin (my favorite of the Founders) was instrumental in establishing our postal system?

I think that the lack of actual addresses and a reliable and regulated postal system is one of the things inhibiting progress (capitalism) in many developing countries.

I like the idea of a national postal service, and if we retain it, people who don’t like it have other options. (I didn’t like the abolishment of Ma Bell, either. It seems that as long as good sense and honor are exercised, some things are better as ‘monopolies’. YMMV.)
