@bolts “ The U.S. Postal Service began piloting a cost-cutting plan in 2023 to remove the machines that sort and postmark mail from local offices and instead consolidate mail processing in regional centers.”

My wife had a delivery that was delayed for over a month because the package kept going to our regional center and then out to various other places not remotely close to ours. It only stopped when a postal supv. intervened and DROVE to the reg center personally.

UPS is 'disposing of' U.S.-bound packages over customs paperwork problems

Thousands of UPS shipments to the U.s. are trapped at hubs because they can't clear the Trump administration's maze of new customs requirements.

Happy Mothers Day

If you are a mother living in the US then today is your day. Happy Mothers Day to you. I hope you had a good one.

I learned something today that will make the whole nightmare that is shooting film easier. Turns out the post office in Salem, NH has a package drop box. I ordered developing for four rolls of film earlier and the package is already in the mail. Granted the post office was closed so it won’t be going anywhere until some time tomorrow but yeah, the post office piece of the workflow is done.

What else? Because I got up at 4:00am to go sunrise chasing, I didn’t do my daily exercise first thing in the morning. I did it at 4:00pm and somehow, someway, it was 1000000000000000 times harder to do in the afternoon than it is in the morning. Why is that? I don’t know.

I have made a command decision. Normally I try to make my work-in-the-office days Monday and Wednesday. This week I am swapping Monday for Tuesday. Why? Because tomorrow is Monday, I only got four hours of sleep last night, and I just don’t wanna.

Okay, there is a new episode of The Last of Us airing tonight. I need to go get ready for that, emotionally speaking.

#BettyWhite now has her own #ForeverStamp from the #USPS , thanks to Boston-area artist #DaleStephanos .

It took him about a year to design and complete. At the request of Betty's family, he included references to her work championing the cause of #AmimalRights , the most obvious symbol being the pawprint earring.

Stephanos' image of Betty brilliantly captures her sense of mischief and fun, by perfectly portraying her joyful smile and sparkling eyes.

#BettyWhiteStamps are now available for purchase through the U.S. Postal Service.
