5 days a week!

The postal service is considering suspending delivery on Tuesdays in order to remedy a budget shortfall caused by lower mail volume.  So says the Miami Herald this morning.

What will I do?!  It's bad enough that i have to wait from Saturday to Monday for my postcards...now Monday to Wednesday? 

This will probably never happen though, because there is a Law that says mail delivery must occur 6 days of the week.  Phew!  But to even consider it makes me twitchy.

Yay!

Received 3 postcards today:From Jen, a concert house in Lahti Finland.

Postcrossing, from Sweden. Rovaniemi is the city in Finland where Santa Clause lives...shh right. Santa lives at the North Pole.

From Czech Republic. Brno. A medieval castle.

Stats

I have not gotten a postcard for Days. I own 235 blank postcards.

I got a postcard from Freemantle West Australia a few days ago--Ani will be playing a concert there soon--but it didn't have a secret postcrossing postcard code on it, so I don't know who it's from! Could be a completely anonymous secret admirer who only wants to tell me about the fabulous delis and cafes on mainstreet? Which has not changed for the past 100 years by the way.

Stay tuned for the resolution of this mystery--if there is any.
