Well, now I know why the price of postage stamps went up. Here in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, the US Postal Service needs new duct tape for their drive through mail boxes.

Gas prices, health insurance, and level III body armor are a lot for the Post Office to provide for their employees. Mailboxes apparently are at the bottom of the totem pole.

Do they buy duct tape from Lowes at $5.99 per roll, or do they order it from GSA at $13,000.53 per roll? Just wondering.

With all that duct tape residue stuck to  my letters, it’s no wonder it takes them so long to reach their destinations. That poor little snail is all gummed up in grey goo.
