UN-GREEN AND NO SERVICE
The United States Postal Service now has the last downtown pickup on Saturdays around one thirty in the afternoon. If you don't get your envelope in there by that time, it sits, untouched for about 48 hours.
Your alternative (and it only gets you an additional hour and a half) is to drive your envelope out to 36th and Katherine Rd. Let's say fifty people every Saturday do that. That's about 600 extra miles burning dead dinosaurs--and that's just on Saturdays.
And we're impatient with India and China for their emissions!

The US Post Office ... another dinosaur kept alive by subsidy and bureaucrats.
Deliveries three days a week is adequate. Eliminate junk mail. Think of the fuel savings.
Maybe even turn the whole thang over to UPS or FedEx, and ask that they hire the best and brightest of the old USPS staff.
People that need faster service can use email or FedEx ... or if they really care ... ride a bike and save fuel and improve their health.
But I think most of the green thing is BS ... just another scam to turn billions over to Gore and Goldman Sachs types.
Real pollution is a problem that will only get worse when our absurd cap and trade laws send more production to filthy China.

The stamp machines, can we get the stamp machines back? I agree w/ you UMR, nothing like going back in time in referance to service delivery.
