A Yard Full

I’ve been around several people down through the year’s who were getting ready to leave on a vacation to some exotic place. Actually, they would be doing what most of us in the blue collar world would love to be able to afford. I know I would love to get away to a beautiful ports of call, and lounge around for a week or so.
When people who were friends or family were leaving on vacation, I would request they bring me something back from the places they were visiting. If not to at least send me a postcard. Usually, they would bring me a small trinket or “what not” with something pertaining to the vacation attached.
I notice that many people who go on vacations, don’t send nice postcards like they once did when on vacations. Actually, there have been times when you would literally beat the postcard back home because of the postal service. Many people are using their camera cell phones to transport memories to family and friends. This has become a more viable source than using the postal service. Since the electronic industry has expanded the postal service has lost valuable business, and forced them go up on their price’s plus cut back on hours and personnel. This hampers their efficiency in customer service and slows down mail delivery.
