Rant: US Postal Service
I had a meter-stamped envelope I wanted to mail via Express Mail so it would arrive tomorrow. To my dismay, the US Post Service was unable to credit me with the postage that was already on the envelope, and I had to pay the full $13.65 that Express Mail costs.
The USPS is turning BILLIONS of dollars of profit this year. Small wonder. Now if only I could get them to deliver mail to my home instead of returning it to the sender...

Questioning Existence
I've now had this blog going for just over a day, and already I'm questioning its existence. I've written one item for it, which amounts to a piece of drivel, even though the gripe is legitimate.
Honestly, I don't think many people reading this are that interested in hearing me complain about things, so I think I may have to end the rants. For the few pages I've posted in "Pat Says" (my old soapbox), I've given my readers somewhat more thought and value for their effort in visiting. Although the blog is a more contemporary format than the standalone web page for this type of piece, it's deserving of the same level of effort.
So with that, I'm now going to try turning up the quality level here and spare you, my reader, the complaints. Most of them anyway :-)
