Oh Yeah, but I can remember when, if we received 10 or 12 pieces of mail in
a month, it was quite a bit. And there really was no junk mail. Just the
Sears and Wards big catalogs and their Christmas catalogs. And a lot of
those were recycled through the outhouse. LOL
Businesses in our large cities claim that they can't get by unless they get
three deliveries a day. Losing Saturday delivery would not really bother
me. Some of the Rural routes only get delivery two or three days a week
now.
