Last week, the United States Post Office announced that come summertime, Saturday mail delivery will be a thing of the past.   Given the significantly over budget operation and the corresponding decline in physical mail, I understand the business decision.  While some in Congress are apparently trying to rekindle Saturday delivery, I am not optimistic for their success.

The elimination of Saturday mail marks the end of an era which makes me sad.    Saturday is by far the best day to receive mail since as a working person it is the only day of the week I am home to greet the mailman.   Granted, these days most of the mail I receive is bulk, but there are always lots of catalogues and oh, those coupons!  I suppose I will have to adjust to never again enjoying the immediate gratification of having my mail carrier hand me a Bed, Bath & Beyond coupon.
