The boxes all go on the right side, that's, hmm, your side of the road, and make sure it's 42" above the road, not like Mr. B the Mayor 2 doors down from you, don't use him as an example".

My (2nd home VT mountain) town would kill to have 2 carriers and 2 clerks. Instead we have Melvin. 1st day I went to the PO, I met the Postmaster who normally sits in the neighboring town 10mi away bc she was holding down Melvin's desk that day. And to top it off, I went in to ask about 1/

Well, given what he's trying w/ Biden's auto-pen, he could always pull a "hey, wait! *I* didn't sign that pardon, someone musta got hold of the autopen! See! That's why all its fake sigs have to go!"
OTOH fully in favor of granting the next prez power to blanket-revoke everything he's ever signed.
