Slow mail day musings

[peter at thescirocco.com (Peter)]

I've thought about that before...

I think the countries have an agreement, and they'll assume delivery of any
foreign mail.

Yup, paraphrased: the international postal system is run jointly by
international governments.

It's slow today, both here on the list and at work.

Did you ever notice the left shoe getting broken in a little faster?
I did, I was wearing newish leather shoes - not sneakers, and noticed the
left shoe had more creases in it than the right.  I chalk that up to using
the clutch pedal.

Also - when international mail is sent, how do the countries on the other
end get paid?  I'm not talking sending UPS or FedEx, but iss you use USPS to
mail something internationally.... I'm just curious how the 'other end' gets
paid.

Ok, now that I've got that off my chest I can go back to work.
