Yesterday evening I finished reading, STATUS UPDATE. I thought the layout was on the weird side. I felt the author start writing like volume 5 or something. And forgot about 1, 2, 3, and 4. At an later date I might look into, OH CANADA. Will be starting to read THE LETTERS OF FRIDA KAHLO. I plan to return Status Update on Friday. And fill out paper work to request a book from the inter-library. FLIGHT. And looks like our library only has 11 of Sherman Alexie books. Flight will be my third book by Sherman Alexie.
Start going though the coat closet. Wash up two coats. I'm leaning heavy of donating one my down coats. I got plenty of winter coats. Plus our coat closet is stuff. It been ages since I wore my London fog down coat.
Not sure if anyone else is having issue getting there mail and package delivered. I do recall a time when package only came mostly on Birthdays or Christmas. Now they come on regular bases. I plan not to order and thing on line in April. Well let get back to the mail. Our mail would come like clockwork between 11:30 AM til 12:30 PM. Now it coming who knows when. I went down to our post office here in Naples. They told me at the sorting center they been short staff. At this point they look like there is change to the POSTAL SERVICE, coming in April. I know if Trump gets his way, he would like to privatized the POST OFFICE. But our postal service is part of our Constitution, POSTAL CLAUSE. One thing I don't why some people thinks privatized is the answer to all things. Plus our postal service delivers quite a few of Amazon package. My package coming is coming by the post office. Usually my package is delivered by UPS or the Postal. Once in great while I will get something through Fed-X. I haven't yet had package delivered by Prime, part of Amazon. Thinking about it. I don't recall seeing a prime truck or van in my county. I was trying to find a more recent article about the relationship between Amazon and postal service. But for my Canadian readers, One might be interested in this ARTICLE.
Coffee is on.
...the Post Office may not survive.
ReplyDeleteMail delivery has changed in more recent times with more of us doing shopping online.
ReplyDeleteHere in the UK I've known Amazon deliver a parcel as late as at 9pm, but in my experience there tracking system is good.
All the best Jan
We had a postal strike in this country. We missed the service, especially before Christmas.
ReplyDeleteHe forgets that the government isn’t here to make a profit, it’s here to serve the people.
ReplyDeleteCanada Post is in trouble the government keeps bailing them out.
ReplyDeleteYou will "appreciate" Frida Kahlo's letters. Not "enjoy" them because, although they were super for information about her life, her life was still tragic. Of course she wrote honestly and emotionally.. which made it EVEN harder for me to absorb in full.
ReplyDeleteI don't read things like letters anybdy wrote about their life and put into a book. I read fiction, I like a story that can take my imagination away to places I will never go to in real life.
ReplyDeleteI really hope Trump does NOT get the postal service privatised. He wants to be able to stop mail-in votes and he should NEVER be allowed to do that.
Most of you American bloggers I read seem to have serious issues with Trump. Now I think American bloggers didn't vote him.
ReplyDeletePrivatization is just a way to extract money from systems that already work just fine. Find a middleman to make a profit while making the service worse. That's all it does.
ReplyDeleteOur mail service is hit or miss. Sometimes we don't get any mail then a ton of junk mail the next day.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Tom, the P.O. may not survive.
ReplyDeleteWe have more than one carrier on our route. Mail comes in the afternoon. Or the evening. Or the next day. Totally unpredictable. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteFor years I've had a hard time getting my mail delivered to the right address. The mailmen aren't like they used to be, they just don't care if they get it in the right mail box or not. I was gone all this week from the internet because my brother was in town. I'm back now and trying to catch up.
