I was just listening to Postal Service's "Give Up" on NYE with some friends and thinking about how much time has passed since then...I remember moving to Chicago from Buffalo, NY where I went to university back in 2001 then right away 911 happened and Give Up as well as PJ Harvey's Stories From the City, Stories From the Sea on repeat to try to gain a sense of what was actually happening in our world. I feel like our world is still pretty mixed up and messy and it hasn't gotten any better since then but it's amazing to me how much time has passed since that album came out...feels just like yesterday.

Finally, after the crazy Pandemic Postal Service from across the Pond, the Padding ton Bear Bros are re-united. They all needed plenty of Fresh Air for the shock.

Happy Birthday to the United States Postal Service.
On July 26, 1775, the U.S. postal system was established by the Second Continental Congress, with Benjamin Franklin as its first postmaster general. Franklin (1706-1790) put in place the foundation for many aspects of today's mail system.
This is the Galway Mail Car at a crossroads somewhere in Connemara, Co. Galway. A note on the back reads "The mail car from Galway - quite a modern institution (1892)"
This photo was taken by Major Ruttledge-Fair for James Hack Tuke. Tuke was very interested in living conditions in the West of Ireland.
Date: 1892

Another way to look at it...if your mommy used these stamps when you were a kid, you probably should rule out any plans for running for president next time.

O Edifício dos Correios de Vitoria-Gasteiz, construído no início do século XX (entre os anos de 1922 e 1928), é um marco arquitetónico da cidade, combinando estilos clássico e modernista, seguindo o projeto do arquiteto basco, Luis Díaz Tolosana, que desenhou também a Escola de Artes e Ofícios na Praça do Conde de Peñaflorida, nesta cidade. A sua fachada, em pedra natural, com arcos e varandas ornamentadas, reflete a importância histórica da cidade como centro administrativo e logístico. Atualmente, funciona como agência postal na Plaza de España.
Recentemente, o edifício foi remodelado para adaptar a sua funcionalidade aos novos tempos, melhorar a sua eficiência energética e, ao mesmo tempo, restaurar as suas fachadas e cobertura.
There are at least 4 signs in this picture announcing that this is a post office. Plus there's one on the other side of the building. Kudos to this postmaster for making the effort. Most of them prefer to be somewhat anonymous. ;-)

As usual, the ramp ruins the shot. And with bright yellow railings, it's really ugly. So I monochromized it and slightly mitigated the damage.

Here's a friend's shot from almost 20 years ago.
And an even older shot from before the ramp.

This place is a prison
And this people aren't your friends
Inhaling thrills through $20 bills
And the tumblers are drained and then flooded
Again and again

And I can breathe in a small town
Gonna die in this small town
And that's probably where they'll bury me"

On my way back home, I was lucky that the sky over (was it?) Greenland wasn't clouded. I was amazed to see glaciers running through the engine of the aircraft, and everybody in my row was turning their heads and pressing their noses.
Long before the days of transporting the mail via trucks and airplanes, the US Postal Service had postal cars on almost all passenger trains. The mail was sorted in route and dropped off at each location along the stop. If the train stopped in a town the mail bags were dropped off, but if the train did not stop the engineer would signal the postal workers when the train was approaching the non-stop town. The workers would mount the mailbag on a hook and drop system that left in the town for pickup.
