Started snowing yesterday with the weather bureau saying 1-3 inches. I just cleared 8 inches and it's still lightly coming down. Who's doing the weather? Dejoy? Must be. It's as messed up as the Post Office. LOL

I feel your pain on the snow.
You can have the snow, free of charge.
Even though my F150 has 4WD I don't need any snow.
On the Post Office, Always seems to have the same problems no matter who runs it. I am in no way trying to be political but as long as the PO needs to beg for $ from congress and beg the same congress for rates increases the PO problems will not change. The PO isn't needed to be profitable as it is a service but al least congress could do is provide it with enough $ to operate.
They have needed replacements for the Grumman LLV for decades. Currently the yearly maint expense is higher than the cost of the new Oshkosh or Ford proposals (per year purchase) and yet it takes years to get through the bid process, beg for $, lawsuits for not awarding to loser, etc. Every year it costs more to fix outdated delivery vehicles than replace with new.
I don't think with the current PO funding methods anyone can make it a great service.
Also,
Keep that snow. We have enough here (none).
