U.S. Mail.....
Way up here in New York State on the Vermont border, mail deliveries have become intermittent. I live in a small village and haven't received mail since last Friday. I finally stop at the Post Office and I was told they are short handed. My niece works in the front office in Albany...she told me they were telling staff they will have to take off three weeks with no pay. I know they pizz away money, but are they that broke?

l still write paper checks for my bills. Been doing it since 1965. lf possible, l pay my bills locally. l REFUSE to let anyone debit my account. Sadly, it seems the Post Office is a reflection of the Fed Gov't. Not good. Not good at all😶

We've lived here since 2001 and had 3 different ladies deliver our mail. Every one of them have been friendly, courteous, and helpful. I couldn't ask for any better service.
Another perk of rural living.

Bubba Jr, Dad lived in Kents Store, Fluvanna County, Virginia a very Rural area. He had the same carrier for i guess the last 15 years or so of his life. Her name was Carol and i think a Angel sent from Heaven. She often brought my dad some eggs from her farm and did so many nice things for dad. If he was sick and could not get out she would bring him the paper and a few groceries. Near the end of dads life for a few years she walked 100 yds and came to back door where dad was sitting in sun room. Often she would sit for a while and cheer dad up.
One day hot air balloon came over and i had a large print made and framed for Carol that they took from balloon. After Dad's funeral I took Carol to my truck and handed her the picture that I had framed for her. She was overwhelmed and then I told her something Dad had made me promise not to tell her while he was still alive."My Dad has named you in his Will."
Carol, was a USPS letter carrier in Kents Store, Virginia and was the real deal. I am sure that God has a special place for her in Heaven. ----------------------------Ray
PS: I will try and find the picture and print it here.

A good letter carrier is a blessing.
Growing up we had the same man for 20+ years. When he passed years later, his wife didn't understand why there were so many people at his wake. They were friends (not customers) from his route.
We had several incidents where the letter carrier saved lives. They noticed that the mail wasn't picked up & investigated. Finding the resident disabled they called the PD for a medical response.

We recently had a new carrier. On her first day, I had to show her where our neighbor's box was located. As we walked over, I told her this was my first time as a mail escort.
