June 13

I rely heavily on the services provided by the United States Postal Service and I find is extremely aggravating when the range of services, or the timeliness, of those services changes. I absolutely hate those annoying stamps that read Return to Sender or Postage due. Things seem to have been going downhill for a very long time. On the 13th in 1920, that agency capriciously decided that children may no longer be sent by parcel post. I’m certain that there was uproar over that new rule. Tell me, just how were parents going to explain to their children that, sorry kids, you are not going to visit your grandparents anymore.
