All I can say...it's about time!!! I was in a small post office that has a town population of under 100. Another close to my home has 78 people in town. Now, I know there are more people than that, BUT...let's get real...Aside from the jobs that may be lost, something needs to be done. Also with more and more people paying bills on-line and E-mail or txt-ing...cut out Sat. delivery. I have said that for 20 years.

The also need to recall the new stamps they just issued...The have a pitures of lawyers on them and people can't figure out shich side to spit on.

Back in the 1970's, a town (if you could call it that) had just 10 boxes, and one route of 46 families. It's been done before, let's get on the stick!

MY weekends would be more pleasant if I didn't have to dig the bills out of my mailbox on Saturdays like I do the remainder of the week.

Perhaps they should hire some FedEx or UPS executives and get some ideas on how to run a successful business.

I think we should just do away with junk mail, then we would no longer need a postal service at all I think.

I know my little post office could be one of those that close. I hate to see it, but then again, I don't use it all that often. Get rid of the Sat. Mail!!!
