Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
The U.S. Postal Service has been bombarding us with George C. Scott commercials (at who knows what cost) about the great service they give. They sponsored a Rose Bowl float (at a cost estimated to be a minimum of $250,000).
Now, when nobody was looking, they have closed all of the “extended evening hour” neighborhood post offices at 5 p.m. I and many other “postal patrons” discovered this on the evening of Jan. 16, a day that estimated income-tax payments were due to be postmarked. The only notifications given were the little signs in the windows of the two post offices I visited, stating their new hours. Makes you just love the Postal Service, doesn’t it?
