Recieved another pre-opened, sorted, letter today:
funny how all of our mail from Washington and New York seems to arrive pre-opened, pre-sorted, and resealed with USPS tape across the envelope...

1. Yeah, I got a letter from London that was opened
It was from Pete Townshend.

You'd think old Bushie would be happy that I'm getting letters from the guy who wrote "Won't get fooled again. :eyes:

(THINK: "There's an old saying in Tennessee—I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee—that says, fool me once, shame on—shame on you. Fool me—you can't get fooled again."—Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 17, 2002 )

4. Here's my list, from the last month:
Two Netflix Movies -- Re-sealed in USPS envelopes
A Big Package -- Opened and re-taped
A smaller package -- opened and re-taped
4 letters, including one today -- my college tuition bill. The letters had just been opened, but not taped.

6. SOB... I thought it was just a problem at our post office
I started receiving some letters and packages in plastic bags marked "damaged by USPS" -- looked like they'd been eaten by a machine or something. This has been happening at least once per week since Christmas. It's all been personal mail (handwritten envelopes) -- Oklahoma, Texas, Canada and Mexico were the origins.

10. Oh. Same here.
Mostly my political mail is damaged. I am the treasurer of our county Democrats, so I get mail pertaining to my job, and from other county Democratic organizations in the state. Lately, it is always damaged. My copy of the Nation has been damaged, too. And I got a Netflix that was only the front cover. The dvd inside had been sent back to Netflix automatically, without our viewing it.

Holy shit. I thought we just had a bunch of incompetents regionally, and some machines that damaged everyone's mail. But there could be a pattern here. I hope not, but there could be.

11. What we need to do is set up a mail run between
Washington or New York and other points, and regularly mail each other a letter that says:

"So, why aren't you out catching bin Laden?"

:evilgrin:
