Snail Mail - RT Shores

Most of this generation's young folks may never know the joys of receiving a real letter by US mail.

Ah! It is postmarked and dirty and crumpled and from another state!

What could be inside?

A letter, hand-written in cursive?

A photo on 'genuine Kodak paper'?

You never knew...

A dollar, crisp from the bank and hidden in another sheet of paper?

A comic strip, clipped from another cities newspaper, often in black and white, but nonetheless exciting.

Now snail mail tends to be junk mail and sales fliers.

I do wonder why many ATM's carry stamps...

Why are folks upset that the USPS wants to stop mail delivery on Saturday? I get the worst mail on Saturday and it is a day when you can absolutely nothing about anything business related.

Anyway, I love mail; real mail!

"Did the mail run yet?"

"Has the mailman come yet?"

You know the very best thing that can happen when you check the mail? You receive a letter, a real letter, handwritten and it is from a friend or relative! Wonderful!

Will snail mail disappear? I hope not...
