OK, so here I go again with something most of you already know, but old, retired me just noticed, thanks to a USPS delivery to me of a letter (one page at that,) for $0.58 for first class delivery. Why is it that I am still thinking the rate should be in the high '30's? Guess some of us are just not that cognizant of things like postage rates, and who knows what else. Oh, well, so long as our postal service can get along with this increase in rates, I guess I will have to also. (Shows how often I send something as opposed to what comes in the daily dispatch. No problem, I hope!)
I wonder how long it's been since my rate remembrance might have been the norm. There was a time when I mailed out letters fairly regularly, thanks to a little job I had that I felt needed a bit of advertising. But that time has come and gone and here I am finding an issue that is probably at least ten years having been changed from my remembered costs. Huh! Wonder what Judge Judy would have to say about that, especially if one of her cases revolved around postal costs. Whatever it might be, I'm sure her viewership would understand. Now I'm wondering how much it costs to get one word of that ladies' daily dictates on the air. God knows, it is just a bit more than it costs for me to write and publish this little document to the internet, and who knows who might read this and take exception (or find it so interesting that they immediately go to their organization to instruct someone to call and offer me an ungodly number of dollars to join them in their travails!) Humh...I wonder, indeed!
Now, if I could only find one of those "smiley faces," I just might be able to say, "fini!"
Where to look? That is the question!
