Our mail got through&#33;&#33;  Do you suppose the Mail Carrier parked at the corner and WALKED to our mail box&#33;&#33;&#33;   <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/ohmy.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ohmy:" border="0" alt="ohmy.gif" />  Now there is a flashback to my childhood.  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":biggrin:" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Remember when the Mailman walked his route??  <br /><br />Actually when I first lived in London (England) we had two mail deliveries per day&#33;&#33;  If I mailed a card from my office near the Embassy by noon, it got to my house in Hendon (30 minutes by bus or tube) before I got home that evening.  And, that was in 1954, before most of you were born.<br /><br />Today I could mail a card from downtown Las Vegas, fly to LA, take a cruise for a week and probably still beat the card to my house.  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":tongue:" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />  Isn&#39;t it wonderful how things have improved?
