The Post Office

Hard to believe that the Postal service both here in Israel and abroad has gotten slower (and more expensive!) over the years.
Why would you send a letter when you can send an email? or post something on facebook? Or tweet your latest thoughts? So the Post Offices in our countries just can't stand up to the competition. Of course if you want to mail somebody a few Haggadahs this means it costs a lot and takes a long time for delivery. So if you want to get your Dry Bones Haggadahs for this coming Passover, you'll have to order now! The LSW (Long Suffering Wife) mails them out from our local post office here in Israel. And then YOUR local snail mail service takes over! Yikes!

So if you want to make sure you'll get yours in time, you've got to order now! For details go to http://store.drybones.com

P.O. (1973)

July 11, 1973

Today's Golden Oldie cartoon is from 1973. Thirty-nine years ago!! It was the first year of Dry Bones publication.

...And the Israeli Postal Service never really improved. It just got replaced by Fax machines, email, DHL, and Federal Express!

Holiday Mail

I came across this interesting piece of trivia about today, December 20, 2010. According to the US Postal Service:

"The Postal Service is projecting Monday, December 20 as the busiest mailing day and Wednesday, December 22 as the heaviest delivery day this holiday season." -more
