World Post Day 2024

Gibraltar extra-large mailboxes at street    
I try to maintain a good relationship with the post office, carriers, and desk clerks working for the United States Postal Service. I don't always succeed — but at least I make the effort consistently and conscientiously in an effort that my mail doesn't get gone all of a sudden ...

Today is World Post Day.

It happens each October 9 corresponding to the establishment of the establishment of the Universal Postal Union in 1874.

Sometimes when I'm thinking they are all a bunch of slackers I try to remember just how difficult and fickle public service can be.

How quickly we forget.

I keep three or four rolls of 'forever' stamps laying around. I like to buy them before the price goes up again. It seems they like to raise the price every few months anymore.

So bear in mind that the mail goes through by and large unless you get your mail from the Northeast Post Office at 8505 Two Notch Rd in Columbia SC 29223-9998. This is postively the biggest bunch of shirkers and slackers in the US Postal system.

Happy World Post Day to you.
