Poway, California 92064
A U.S. Mail truck drives through flooded streets in Freeport, N.Y. A spring storm lashed the East Coast, dumping record amounts of rain. Monday, April 16, 2007
Yours truly found one Newport Beach, California. Too bad it was too hard for me to grab a shot of me and the whole box.
Wishing all my fellow Postal Employees throughout the world, a very Happy and Safe Easter to you and your families.
That's right... do a great job in Southern California and they reward you with a wooden nickel. Each one is good for a free soda and if you accumulate six you can harden your arteries with a greasey fried cheeseburger. I think I'll work even harder for that. Hmmmmmm.
Planetary visitor disappointed by the misrepresentation of droid. I tried to explain to him that employees are often left feeling that way also.
Google maybe helping out the Post Office? Introducing Gmail Paper. Everyone loves Gmail. It's Google's free and easy to use email system. I have been using it for quite a while now and love it but not everyone loves email, or the digital era. What ever happened to stamps, filing cabinets, and the mailman? Well dedicated Google members asked for it, and a new feature is available in Gmail. You can request a physical copy of any message with the click of a button, and they will send it to you in the mail. Google will print all messages instantly and prepare them for delivery. Allow 2-4 business days for a parcel to arrive via post. Google takes privacy very seriously. But once your email is physically in your hands, it's as secure as you want to make it. Learn more about Gmail Paper by clicking here. If youd like an invite to start your own Gmail account contact me at uspsblog@gmail.com.APRIL FOOLS!!!!! Google is bad and so am I. Hope you enjoyed. I fell for it at first.. did you?
15 new Star Wars Stamps unveiled in L.A. at the Chinese Theatre to be available May 25th. The Star Wars fans are destined to surpass the sales of the Elvis stamp. I personally can't get enough of the Wonder Woman stamp but Darth Vader might just take over my collection. The madness has only just begun.
Oh that aint right. I was actually showing somone a photo from my vacation on my camera phone while on a break on the workroom floor and the Plant Manager had a fit. Reminds me of how other countries were in the past.
New Forever Stamp unveiled at the Postal Forum. The stamp will be good for mailing one-ounce First-Class letters anytime in the future — regardless of price changes. The Forever stamp goes on sale April 12 at 41 cents. Customers can begin using the stamp when postage changes May 14.
With the 30th anniversary of Star Wars the Postal Service has transformed the old boxes into R2-D2 robots all over the country. USPSjedimaster.com shows a peak at the promotion that will take effect. Postal Employees all over the nation will appreciate seeing a sign from the Force after having to work for the Darkside for so many years.
Another photo of some of the devastation from 9/11 in NYC.
One of the few remaining ways to deliver the Mail is via bicycle at the St. Petersburg, FL. “Open Air” Station. A few of the benefits…. The bikes are low-visibility, attention-grabbers and quite unique. On the downside, when it rained “cats & dogs” which it does so frequently down there, all you had was a USPS issued umbrella which strapped to the underside of the frame, and if you were lucky some overhead tree branches. This picture was taken by a passing motorist in the late 80’s when I was a carrier there, and some are still in use today and really haven’t changed all that much.
