Neither rain, nor sleet, nor dark of night...

No, that's not the weather forecast for the Tropical Tip, just a little quote often attributed to the Postal system. We teased our daughter because we didn't get their Christmas card until the 28th... even though she swore she sent it the Monday before Christmas. And when we did finally get the card, the postmark showed that was, indeed, when she sent it.

Picking up mail yesterday, there was only one envelope in our box... an invitation to our friends', Steve and Jan, 40th anniversary party. The party date was Labor Day... yeah, last Labor Day. The postmark on the envelope: July 18, 2011... only a bit more than 5 months to get here!

And their solution to the red ink of the Postal system operation is to "slow down delivery and eliminate services"??? Sheesh!
