But I work at home. I get checks from customers. When they come on Saturdays, that's great. My fear is that halting weekend service would be the beginning of the end of mail as we know it. I complain, like everyone.
Postal lines move at the speed of glaciers.
Still, mail is affordable and reliable. Well I want my snail mail, and I want it for a good long time. I make good use of e-mail, but there are pleasures of paper that can't be replicated online. When a nephew sends a thank-you note on puppy dog stationery, I appreciate it. When a friend sends a card and tucks in a photo she took during my visit 10 years ago, I feel special.
