Rich,


Did you get my email? They are going out FedEx Ground tomorrow. They will be there when you get back. Have a great time in Rome!

I believe that the USPS does not have airplanes anymore. I think they use FED EX to do their air mail. For $.41 I don't think any country in the world can ship a letter cross country for that. I am just happy we still have the freedom to ship things without much problem. Sam

Just some feedback. When USPS changed their rates in the US some how it also spread into the canada post numbers.Just in the last few months I have seen the rate for the same weight and dimension parcel jump over 33% especially to california and other western states.They tell me on this end it is due to the high fuel costs but I am not sure.
DHL is 7 hours away for me and we don't have UPS so I am at the mercy of canada post.

A guy goes to the U.S. Post Office to apply for a job.

The interviewer asks him, "Have you been in the service?"

"Yes," he says. "I was in Vietnam for three years."

The interviewer says, "That will give you extra points toward employment" and then asks, "Are you disabled in any way?

The guy says, "Yes 100%...a mortar round exploded near me and blew my testicles off."

The interviewer tells the guy, "O.K. I can hire you right now. The hours are from 8:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. You can start tomorrow. Come in at 10:00 A.M."

The guy is puzzled and says, "If the hours are from 8:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. then why do you want me ! to come in at 10:00 A.M.?"

"This is a government job" the interviewer says. "For the first two hours we stand around scratching our b@!!s, no point in you coming in for that."
