Two Things Make a Post

[rolanni]

1. The US Post Office, feeling, as do we all, the pinch of the Zombie Apocalypse right in the wallet, where it hurts the most, has decided to increase rates! Brilliant, USPS. Just. . .

Sigh.

When we began serializing Fledgling, in 2007, a first class stamp cost 39 cents. First class postage now costs 44 cents an ounce, soon to go up to 46 cents an ounce. Periodical mail -- which is to say "media mail," which is how SRM orders, for instance, travel domestically, will go up about 8 percent over current rates. God, She knows what's going to happen to overseas rates.

Again.

*deep breath*

2. Regrettably, I will not be going to NASFiC as originally planned. Steve will be attending. I'm sorry to miss everyone; have a great time for me!

So I guess the postal jar needs another contribution. Is that still around or do we just use the trip jar?

postageATkorvalDOTcom still works. Congress still has to approve this newest increase. Given the rate at which gummint flows, we'll have the pre-ordered Saltations out the door well before time.

I'm sure overseas postage gone up since I last contributed anyway, it always does (the same over this side of the Pond).

I won't be going to NASFIC either, so I'll miss not seeing you there *g*...
