Superheroes Go Postal

The new super hero stamps were unveiled at the Comic Convention in San Diego yesterday and will be available nationwide today.Unfortunately I didnt get the memo from the Postal Service or I would have been there for a live photo of the unveiling. So much for my VOE survey.

The Postal Service is lighting up Times Square in N.Y.C.

Hydroplane

I hate when that happens. Before the heat wave there was alot of rain that Postal Carriers had to endure.

If Only Mr. Zip were Dr. Zip

PostalWatch provided this largely underrepresented group with a powerful and unified voice in postal affairs that impacted their businesses and personal lives. It also provided information for Postal employees to be aware of the latest news and happenings and served to be the watch dog to protect the rights of the People.
