Edible Stamps?
From RuralInfo.net:
I’m not going to try and disseminate their current crisis, but I have heard of a project that may have lines forming at your local post office. Addie Hassef, head of USPS Special Projects and famed Chef Homaro Cantu have collaborated on a set of soon-to-be-available commemorative stamps that not only smell like the fruit depicted on the face of the stamp, they taste like it as well. That’s correct: Chicago’s famed menu-munching chef has helped the USPS put together a stamp for each state that depicts that state’s commemorative fruit. Now licking stamps has become a lot more challenging, but for a new reason. Very soon postal customers in Maine will be licking wild blueberry stamps by the sheet, Alabamans will be enjoying books of blackberries, those of you in Oregon will have your pear stamps and for my friends in North Dakota, try not to choke on those chokecherries.
-From the webmaster: At least they included North Dakota in the story. ;)

RuralInfo.net: Downsizing, Incentives – Donahoe Testifies
From RuralInfo.net:
“We do plan on issuing some incentives based on the fact that we make some changes in our operation,” Donahoe responded during a hearing. “As we shrink the network, as we move from six- to five-day delivery, we would put in some incentive money to move people along.”

Quick Updates
The MOU stating that routes cannot be posted before March 24 (now that it is over) lets the postal service post the vacant routes. The Western Area has stated that these routes will be posted between April 9 and April 14.
Senate Postal Bill S.1789Z (postal reform) has been placed on hold by a Maryland Senator who is opposed to closing a plant in her state.
More to come in the near future… and at the local unit meetings for those preparing to have them.
