The post office is now also desperate for revenue but thinking about charging extra for lower zip code numbers.

Maybe rain or sleet or snow will not delay the mail but there are some other factors like lack of faith in the system.  I listened as the man ahead of me was getting forms for temporarily stopping the mail delivery and a change of address. “When you have them filled out,” suggested the postal clerk, “bring them back to the post office personally so they don’t get lost in the mail.”

@ The Spokane Washington the police were sponsoring a “Meet the Police” night and showing the public some of their new law enforcement technology. One item was a computer program that could trace a person’s criminal background using just the drivers license number. Police asked for volunteers in one place and a man pushed to the head of the line and handed them his drivers license. The police were surprised when the results came back the man was a wanted criminal with several outstanding warrants. He was arrested on the spot.
