No mail for me today, which suggests that the snow did stay the courier from their appointed rounds.

No mail for me today, which suggests that the snow did stay the courier from their appointed rounds. Of course, that slogan is on the main post office in Manhattan, not here, so maybe it doesn't apply.

@SteveBellovin It's the original "don't be evil". Just a slogan.

@mattblaze @SteveBellovin And one added to the Farley Post Office Bldg by one of the architects, who evidently had a thing for Herodotus, not because it was ever a US Post Office motto.

@20002ist @mattblaze Yup—there's even a Wikipedia page about that, complete with the Greek text from Herodotus: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Postal_Service_creed.

@SteveBellovin @20002ist And one that applies (or not) equally well to the current main occupant, Amtrak.

@SteveBellovin I’m currently having fun playing “did the carrier not carry or did I not sufficiently un-bury my mailbox?”

With a bonus of “to un-bury the mailbox any more I’d have to clear the end of my neighbor’s driveway. And maybe move their car”

[20002ist@thepit.social]

@mattblaze @SteveBellovin Loath though I am to give credence to the superstitious idea of jinxes, as the holder of a r/t trip ticket between WAS and NYP in the very near future I will be casting no aspersions on Amtrak’s schedule fidelity at this time.

@SteveBellovin
Louis DeJoy rescinded that motto. A mail-in ballot might get through.
