US Post Office: Two Delightful Items

ForeverStamp.com
is "a little web site designed to make your life simpler by tracking the price of a stamp by Christopher Maxwell."

Since 2007, the United States Postal Service had been selling a non-denominated stamp for first class postage. It’s labelled the forever stamp, and it insulates casual mailers from thinking about the cost to send a letter.

While the stamp doesn’t list its value, you can still use it, at its current price, to mail other items. Finding anything is challenging at the official USPS official home—this site provides a convenient alternative, as well as the stamp’s history and answers to questions you didn’t know you had.

tl;dr (Don’t stockpile more than a year’s worth.)

I just learned about USPS Dogs, a Facebook group where critter-loving postal carriers show pictures of friends (canine, feline, equine, etc) they meet on the job.

In the cut: a pair of human hands holds a small gray and white dog above a patch of snow. The dog has stubby legs, random black speckles, white-blue irises, a longer-than typical bulldog-like nose, and huge erect ears (larger than their head). I suspect it’s the result of a lively encounter between an Australian Cattle Dog and an English Bulldog.
