It's incredible that neither the president nor VP was here. The politicization of all facets of American life is coming from the White House. No other American president would have failed to pay their respects. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

The USPS, established by the Constitution, has always been a vital public service. All these years later, its mission to provide universal mail service to the nation remains a fundamental constitutional commitment. As letter carriers, we intend to honor and protect that commitment.

My kind of valentine card. [Deb Sandidge, roseate spoonbills in Florida vying for a perch.]

Two big birds with pink wings, red eyes, and bills shaped like flat clappers flying close together allegedly vying for a perch. In Florida. They're called Roseate Spoonbills. The jolie-laide of the bird world.

As Oklahoma HB1775 continues to exist unamended or unrepealed, our collective history is ignored. Historian and filmmaker Ken Burns reminds us of the value of understanding our country's success as well as our failures. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hE_T...

Attended a Town Council meeting tonight — opportunity to work for responsive govt locally. It was brutal. kudos to two council women relentlessly pursuing their idea in face of dismissiveness, stonewalling, bullying sarcasm, etc etc. from mayor/attny. Danged.
