USPS efficiency bodes well for nationalized health care.



Last week i ordered a phone. The vendor shipped the item or at least sent the electronic notice to the USPS on Dec. 31. So to give them the benefit of the doubt, the holidays intevened and the item was not actually in their hands until Monday, Jan. 4.

Sunday, Jan. 3 I went to the wonderful, warm and fuzzy USPS site where tracking information is found. It said that they had received notification on Dec. 31.

Wanting to be informed of progress of the shipment, i requested emailed progress reports.

Tonight, January 7, I received notice of an update. Wanting to be certain I again visited the USPS site. The report was correct. The package has moved from Yuba City, CA. to Sacramento, CA.

In seven (7) days my phone has moved 43 miles; a grand total of 69.2 kilometers. I am so proud of my postal service I could weep.

Even If I had started on Monday, I could have WALKED to Sacramento from Yuba City in less time. Even the pony express would have made it in hours.

I hope no one in this country is ever subjected to government run health care. The prospect is too ugly to contemplate.
