"...even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased." (from Daniel 12:4)
On a the evangelical children's radio program, "Children's Bible Hour" they often had a "go along with the story song". Well, THIS is a "go along with my last post STORY"!
(My last post was "MODERN CYBER-TECHNOLOGY: A RUNAWAY TRUCK?". ) The U.S. Postal letter carriers are demonstrating against Senate bill 1789 which would not only cut Saturday mail delivery (well, THAT may not be so bad) but ALSO potentially STOP ALL DOOR-TO-DOOR MAIL DELIVERY! This would be very bad for elderly, disabled, poor, and anyone who is not on-line. If you're concerned about this, I hope you'll speak up about it.

Amends provisions of federal law relating to the United States Postal Service (USPS) workforce, services and operations, worker compensation, and other matters.
Requires USPS:

(2) to consolidate and relocate such offices based on such plan;
(3) to develop service standards for providing postal customers with access to retail services;
and
(4) not later than September 30, 2015, to convert door delivery points to curbline delivery points, sidewalk delivery points, or centralized delivery points.
Prohibits USPS from establishing a general, nationwide 5-day-per-week delivery schedule (i.e., eliminating Saturday service) for the two-year period after the enactment of this Act.
