Mine showed up yesterday. It is chronically late but
the mail sevice
in Tehachapi has been poor / bad since I mover here
in 1989. That
year they caught a mail delivery guy who, instead of
delivering mail,
was dumping it in his garage and watching TV. Got
caught when the
mountian of mail began sliding ou beneath the door.
Many mnagazines
are late and have been taken from their sleeves and
apparently read.

Tax dollars at work.

Actually, this is one of the many the joys of privatization.

need to do this to more agencies, since it's worked
so good for electricity/gas, mail, etc. Who needs reliable
infrastructure with functioning oversight anyways.
