Postal increase

[asterroc]

yet again. to 41¢ minimum for a letter, though heavier letters may actually go down in price. Too bad the "forever stamp" won't be sold in rolls. I needa get a roll of 4¢'s for my roll of 37¢'s.

Meanwhile, anyone remember the comic or whatever, maybe a Far Side, that had a phrase like "neither wind nor big dogs will delay our postal increase"?

Reminds me yesterday in physics class I refered to the "And then a miracle occurs..." comic (which is either a New Yorker or a Far Side) and one of my students asked me how I can remember that sort of thing and not the names of Patriots players. When I answered that I don't care about sports, he replied with the illogical statement "it's not sports, it's the Patriots!" as if regionalism trumps the fact that it's a sport.

Wait, regionalism doesn't trump the fact that it's a sport? Admittedly, I'm a sports fan, but I know plenty of people who only follow the local team.

Not for me, no. Sports means I don't care and that trumps everything.
