Tom "Captomo" as many know I was a U.S. Letter Carrier from 1970 - 1975, and even way back then, they were talking about doing away with Saturday delivery. So, what you say is a plan that was discussed many years ago. The wear and tear on vehicles (Nationwide) as well as the fuel savings is...

Very sad story but hopefully those young girls will be found and will be okay. As that sheriff says: "it's time to pray".
