[SJDXA] No more mail on Saturdays

[Bob Schenck N2OO]

I guess I won't have to drive to the Post Office on Saturdays any more after
August 1st!!

 

The U.S. Postal Service plans to stop delivering letters and other
first-class mail on Saturdays, beginning August 1, although packages will
continue to be delivered. 

Tired of waiting for Congress to help, the Postal Service later today is
expected to unveil a series of more drastic cuts it plans to pursue that
will save billions of dollars, a representative for the service said. 

It's unclear at the moment how the Postal Service has the authority to quit
delivering letters on Saturdays. Previously, it has said it needed Congress
to change the current law to do so. However, two sources confirmed to CNN
that the plan includes an end to Saturday mail service except for package
delivery, which has seen growth in the past few years.

See ya' in the Pileups!

73!
