Postage Stamps January 11, 2006
It’s funny how little things can make you happy sometimes…
Just a couple of days ago, when the postage rate increased from thirty-seven cents to thirty-nine cents, I was talking with a friend about how the stamps in the UK say “1st” (for “First Class”), rather than the specific value of the stamp (it wasn’t always this way, of course, but it’s been that way for quite a while now - it started in the early ’90’s, if I recall correctly).
So, what comes into my (physical) mailbox today? A flyer from the US Post Office, who sell stamps at cost, without shipping, via the mail. And now offer non-denominational “First Class” imprinted stamps, by the roll. This I like. Sheets of two cent stamps are available as well to “upgrade” your current thirty-seven cent stamps if you still have any.
Like I said - sometimes it’s the little things!
