Not the case now, just this past month the cost to zip off a letter went up to $0.46 cents, but that's not enough to get our ailing Post Office out of trouble. I've always loved getting mail on at least one weekend day (Saturdays), but come August, just like the Pony Express and cheap stamps, that too will start becoming a distant memory.

Where's the nearest one?"  The reason I doubt you've thought that is because Oneida County has an abundant amount of post offices.  Care to take a guess at how many?

This means that people who want to ship electronics to troops serving abroad will have to pay a premium to go through private shipping services.
