The picture wasn't the one I intended to upload. In the other picture, they were all wearing Photoshopped Arby's hats but, for some reason, I can't get that @#$! pic to upload. I was looking at the pudgy PMG on the left. I am sure he has had plenty of Horsey Sauce in his day.

The NALC Food Drive is probably the biggest thing going on at my station. There is some bickering between the city and rural carriers because the city routes will get overtime during this week while the rural routes don't get paid over their evaluation. I think this is one of the best public relations moves by the NALC and it is probably more important charity work than our CFC Campaign.

The USPS' role was to print out postcards equalling six full coverages in 10 days. The customers already knew after the first full coverage. Why does the USPS send out mulitple full coverages for the same event -  like Holiday service. They are just as bad as Comcast. Hundreds of millions of these full-coverage postcards are printed all the time. Precious trees must be felled to print all of these full coverages - trees that are necessary to consume carbon dioxide. After the full coverages are delivered even more carbon dioxide is emitted. You know what this means? These full coverages are causing the Arctic ice caps to melt. I hope Comcast and the USPS remember those starving polar bears stranded on small ice floes the next time they send a full coverage. :)

I haven't written a blog for a few days because things have been busy in my life. Some of it is union related and some of it is on a personal level. I have had a lot of time to think and something I am working on is rearranging my portfolio. With the economy like it is - I have decided to close my account with the postal credit union and invest in food. I had a huge refrigerator in my garage with was packed full of ground beef and chicken. With ground beef and chicken going up 6 percent this year - I sold it for a profit. Then I took this profit and invested in cereal. I got an 8 percent return on all my boxes of Froot Loops and Cocoa Puffs. Then I poured those profits into milk, cheese and peanut butter. That investment netted me 10 percent. They say the trend for food costs is only going to get worse. This is good for business!

I am sitting on a pile of cash big enough to fill my up my gas tank once a week!
