Postal Postscript

Following up on why we did not get mail yesterday, my wife called the central post office this morning and spoke with the supervisor for Verona. Her explanation was we had a substitute delivering our mail. Or, in this case, not. This is an excuse?

So when our regular mailman arrived today we asked him why we didn't get any mail yesterday. He told us Wednesday was a very slow day for mail and, in fact, he told us one or two households received only one item.

OK, if Wednesday is such a slow day why not cancel mail delivery on Wednesdays instead of Saturdays. Some Congressman is always talking about canceling mail on Saturdays to save money.

That hasn't happened so far. Can you imagine the fuss if someone suggested doing away with Wednesday delivery instead of Saturday?

Anyway, with the looming battle over the national budget just ahead, I thought I'd throw in an idea that has nothing to do with Defense, Medicare, Medicaid or Social Security.

Mail your congressman if you think my idea has merit. But not on Wednesday.
