Well, at least the USPS is going all out in promoting those new stamps. They've got their own web site. Granted, it only sells the minutiae associated with the stamps like postcards, mugs, keychains, T-shirts, etc., but at least folks might know about them now. The stamps, not the gee-gaws. Found thanks to Willa.

I almost forgot that yesterday was also the first day of issue for the new Greetings From America stamps. Go out. Buy them. Use them. Save a sheet if you want, but use as many of these suckers as you can on your regular correspondence. Please!

In no real surprise to anyone, a plan has been issued to overhaul the US Postal Service. The surprise is that they're the ones suggesting it.

So that's where all that mail got to. Evidence of mail being opened and checks cashed was found. Gee, go fig. Found in the Obscure Store.

In philatelic news, Norwegian postal authorities are trying to track down who they put on their new stamp. The person remains a mystery because the image doesn't depict who they thought it depicted. The stamp celebrating the 100th anniversary of Norway's soccer federation will be issued anyway on April 12.

They hope the depicted person doesn't mind.
