Please let your mail carrier know they are not alone. Last week I left mine a bottle of hand

sanitizer and a note of appreciation. Told her when that was empty to bring it back and I will refill it. Not only does she do a great job every day but she helps keep an eye on the neighborhood and knows most of the people on our rural route. I am not suggesting that everyone give a gift, just a word of appreciation and a show of solidarity.
The Republican Party has been "all-in" for a while now. They will not be backing down unless something unforeseen happens. We have to support our unions, teachers, healthcare people, and every institution that repubs are trying to dismantle. I realize I am preaching to the choir, just reminding people to at least do what little things we can to support others.
Go Joe!

I wrote a thank you on the package for the postal workers to read.


I have been meaning to print this out for such occasions:

my upstairs neighbor came down, asking if I had received a piece of his mail.....I gave him my stack of mail that I had recently retrieved but had not gone through - he found the envelope and was on his way

but I'm down to my last one with only a third left. He's wearing gloves and a mask everyday so that's good protection for him.

for now. There is a website called "Art Naturals" that still has sanitizer available. I have some of that also, in smaller bottles. But they sell all kinds of pack sizes. 62.5% ethyl alcohol, which is acceptable. Takes 70% for isopropyl. My order took about two weeks. Just letting you know, not plugging anything.

I have sanitizer in my car for the 3 or 4 times I've been out in 3 (4?) weeks. I'm losing track...
