Subj : I'm being slammed by thes To : Daryl Stout From : Barry Martin Date : Mon Nov 16 2020 08:24:00 Hi Daryl! BM> U.S. Mail is protected by more than 200 federal laws enforced by the BM> Postal Inspection Service, one of the nation's oldest law enforcement BM> agencies. ... The Postal Service receives NO tax dollars for BM> operating BM> expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to BM> fund its operations. DS> And, postage keeps going up...as more folks go to email, FedEx, DS> UPS, DHL, etc. Plus the normal expenses without the competitors: rasies to the employes for increases in cost of living, increased costs of utilities, maintaining the postal vehicles, etc., etc., etc. The competitors might help keep the costs down. ...U.S. rates are cheaper than some other parts of the world: in Austria (where my Aunt lives) it costs her 1 Euro to mail a letter. E1 is about USD1.20. DS> In Rodney Atkins' song, "Watching You", the traffic light goes DS> straight from green to red. That'll happen on the rail lines, but DS> not so much on regular traffic lights...unless it's going from DS> WALK to DONT WALK. But, if you're on the corner of WALK and DONT DS> WALK, are you are a CROSSWALK?? :P RTH!!! DS> Sort of like "Hit Me. I Need The Money". :P BM> Well adults might do that, I don't think kids nor animals. DS> True...especially the squirrels. I've read the best thing to do is just maintain speed and don't swerve. Their brains are wired the predator (car) is after them and keeps the same speed to capture them. Any swerving is to compensate for the change in path of them, to get them, not to avoid. And yes, I do feel bad if I hit one but better them than me getting into an accident. ¯ BarryMartin3@ ® ¯ @MyMetronet.NET ® ....
