    Neither rain, nor sleet, nor snow...nor Saturdays


    Ending a 150-year-old service, the U.S. Postal Service this week announced an end to Saturday deliveries of first-class mail.

    By August 1, the service will be discontinued in an effort to stop the bleeding of more than $25 million in losses each day. The USPS lost a staggering $16 billion last year, and more than $41 billion over the past six years.

    Not all is lost on Saturdays, however. The move to five days of service will only affect first-class mail, which means packages, along with priority and express mail will still be delivered on Saturdays, according to the plan.

    Won't affect me any. I use a private mail service and I almost never pick up my mail on Saturdays. Other than some packages, three magazines, and some junk mail, I get very little mail anyway so I just check my mail only once a week. At home, all I get is junk mail.
