The price of stamps -

The price of stamps goes up today to 42 cents.  I know my post office will have no 1 cent stamps, which means two stamps for awhile, which is probably why the post office doesn't take the advice of my mailman which is just to jump it up to 50 cents and leave it there for awhile.  The price of gas means increased mail delivery costs.  Most of us probably don't mail much anymore.  We pay our bills online, and write very few letters.  A 9 cent jump would probably not break any of us, and it would mean a break from remembering to account for the increasing 1 cent snail-like rise.

Enjoy the 12th of May!
