For John, BLUF: Apparently incentives work. Nothing to see here; just move along.
Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.Yes, that is the creed of the US Postal Service, and old as the Postal Service is, going back to Ben Franklin and 1775, the saying is older, going back to Herodotus, about 500 BC.
Today I came to wonder if the mantle has not fallen to United Parcel Service. I ordered a pair of mittens from L L Bean and the promised delivery was this coming Wednesday. Instead, they arrived yesterday, Monday afternoon.
The US Mail? Not so much.
Kudos to "Brown".
