7:45 AM. We just got yesterday's mail delivery. I want William DeJoy to drive our rural route. The mail service is falling apart (again) just in time for the May primary election. We vote by mail here.

We keep getting mail from across town that takes 2 weeks to show up.
Supposedly Fedex will have my package here today, only a week late.
I guess it was just resting for a few days and contemplating reality

Something is goofy at my local UPS hub. This is about the fifth time something like this has happened.
Package was scanned in there early Tuesday morning. It's Surepost, so it will go to the local Post Office. In the past, it would have gone out Tuesday, been dropped at the PO Tuesday and been delivered to my mailbox today.
It sat there all day yesterday and isn't scheduled to go out of the hub to the PO until tomorrow which means I'll get it Friday. I don't understand why it travels across country in less than a day, then takes 3-4 days locally.
Other recent packages I posted about previously would arrive at the hub early Friday, but not move until Tuesday.

FedEx frequently mis-delivers my packages to other places down the road. UPS always gets it right.We keep getting mail from across town that takes 2 weeks to show up.

When I really need something I ship to Hospital work address...
Have to saying having both Fed and UPS cell numbers good when expecting tissue or corneas...
My payback is getting them in and out ASAP...
Post Office is odd... not unusual to get regular mail 9 pm on a Saturday night since route has no assigned carrier.

Definitely. We need a SECURE unhackable way to vote by email. Stop this requiring physical presence at a voting booth.

I'm more concerned about poor people, the elderly, and the infirm. Walking 1.5 miles would be more than many of my friends can manage. Heck, standing in a voting booth is more than some of my friends can manage. It shocks me to see pictures of people actually standing in line to vote. It's no wonder so few actually do it.

You must be joking. Email is easily hacked.
