So from Oakland, CA to Charlotte, NC in only 62 days. And one
wonders why the nobody sends letters anymore....<<
USPS sucks big time. I'm in the UK, my best friend, who is blind, is in
Sacramento, CA. The stuff I send her only arrives at all about 10% of the
time. Our Royal Mail actually refuses to insure anything sent to the USA,
but they'll happily insure for many so-called third world countries. I
once sent her some air tickets, registered post (ie a tracked service). I
tracked them online from London to Chicago O'Hare, where they arrived the
day after posting. They took over six months to make the rest of the trip,
by which time she'd been here and back on a fresh set of tickets. Why did I
send her the tickets? because Delta Air Lines refused to issue them to her
in the States if I paid for them here, that's why - absolute nonsense this
international day and age. Her utilities companies don't seem to mind if I
pay her bills now and then...
I reckon those who run USPS get kickbacks from UPS, DHL etc. The worse USPS
is the more people will use the other options...
No need to reply, you just set me off on something that irritates me a lot!

Your copyright release and your patches arrived in today's post.
The postmark is smeared somewhat but it does appear to say
"2? DEC 2006" (where the ? is illegible.)
