11-12-2025 - Good Morning! It's Wednesday, whatever that means to you. The Post Office is up and running after a Veteran's Day break. I know some of you are probably still suffering from "No Mail" withdrawal symptoms. Relief is just a few hours away. I need to get a few more "site announcement" ads in the mail. Right now, it's Folgers Black Silk coffee time!

--- From the U.S. Postal Inpection Service - A five-month investigation led to the arrest and guilty plea of former U.S. Postal Service (USPS) employee Troy McDougle, Jr., 31, of Columbia, SC, for conspiracy to commit bank fraud and wire fraud. The joint investigation was carried out by the U.S. postal inspectors, and USPS Office of the Inspector General (OIG) special agents.
--- I saw an ad that said something like "I'm looking for 20 lazy people. . . " Well, there should be no problem completing that task! Another ad advised people to send a quarter (25¢) to each of the listed participants. I don't think I've ever seen that one before.
I saw another ad for a 100% dealership. The item cost $20 and 10 First Class stamps. When you receive an order, you keep the $20 and send the 10 stamps to the prime source. Ten stamps = $7.80. That's a $27.80 transaction. That's not 100%. Stamps are money. It's not that the split is unfair; it's just that not everyone will agree that the description is accurate. Maybe leave out the 100%?
