The end of an era seems to be approaching and I'm sort of bummed about it (and, I suppose, part of the problem, as well).
With online bill pay and email becoming the norm, the U.S. Postal Service is dealing with record deficits ($2.4 billion loss as of June 30). They are not only beginning to offer union employees $15k payouts to leave, but the idea of ending Saturday mail delivery has been bounced around.
I have my bills delivered online and pay them online, as well. Yeah, it's more convenient and environmentally friendly, but there is something to be said about opening your mailbox and having something waiting for you.
Progress.
