Paul just sent me a Wall Street Journal article entitled Post-Office Closure List Sent.
It is like a reconfirmation that post-offices are always confronted with competitions whenever a new technology emerges. Anyone who has seen Lark Rise to Candleford will remember Dorcas Lane's fight for the survival of her post office when a railway was built and passed through the area. The only differenc is that the same competitions are now fiercer and multifaceted with the evolution of Internet.

July: a Great Month
July 4 is the birthday of the United States of America. It is the anniversary of the day on which the Declaration of Independence was adopted by the Continental Congress - July 4, 1776. Independence Day was first observed in Philadelphia on July 8, 1776.
July is a special month to our family. On July 2, 1997, Nick, accompanied by his grandmother, came to the States to live with us in Santa Cruz. In July 2002, we adopted our Chippy on the steps of Santa Cruz Main Post Office. It is also a birthday month shared by my mother, nephew and myself.
