With the snow, it's probably a forgone conclusion that there will be no mail.

I always thought this this was the USPS creed, but actually it's just engraved on the NY City Post Office.

"Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds."

It's also pretty sure that we will see the end of the Saturday Home Delivery of mail as well in the next few months. The USPS is just waiting approval from Congress. They they will likely get with the new congress when it comes into session.

At first I was really disturbed by this. I do a ton of business on eBay and do most of my shipping through the Post Office. (Though it seems that even eBay is steering it Sellers to ship more UPS. eBay has made it easy to print and ship via UPS in the last 6 months.)

If it weren't for eBay and other auction sites like it, the Post Office would be really hurting! IMO

No business I know of, gets Saturday delivery, so I guess I can see why the Post Office wants to cut it out. The biggest problem I see as a Seller on eBay, is that I might get "dinged" by a Buyer as perceived "slow shipment" due to not shipping on a Saturday.

I was wrong.

I had a fill in. :mad: 1/2 my mail always gets sent back when I have a fill in!

He didn't deliver anything I was expecting from eBay, even thought it said it was posted "Processed through sort facility, Charlotte" last night! I'll have to see if it was posted "Out for Delivery". That means it most likely will get sent back. I lose more friggin mail that way! :mad:

I forgot about Netflix Jangler. They keep that Post Office going too.

Has anyone noticed that magazines are starting to offer discounts on subscriptions if you get it delivered "electronically" over a printed version? Pretty soon, a printed magazine will go away. (Then what will we read in the Doctor's office while we are waiting all that time? Or on the toilet? LOL) All of us will have to have iPods or Kindels? (I don't have either.)

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.
