Daddy's Home by Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein for March 18, 2025

Do you get personal snail mail by friends and relatives anymore?

Very rarely.

My next door neighbor mails me birthday and Christmas cards. My granddaughter mails thank you notes.

These days few people write letters or postcards anymore. Probably because it’s so easy to call or text on that appendage that’s permanently glued to most folks faces. The PO is mainly used to send bills and meaningful correspondence from businesses etc. and of course the ever present junk mail.

I don’t get much snail mail any more.

It won’t catch on kid! Sadly, you run out of grandparents too soon.

wouldn’t be surprised: vinyl records, audiophile stereo and real photography are all making a comeback

better hurry because they are talking about dismantling the UPS system

You can’t do that with a text.

I was on a road trip out to the Big Bend area of Texas last week. Spent a lot of time with my 12 year old granddaughter – who is incredible. I was showing her how to use a circular slide rule :-) (I’m a USAF Navigator from the old days, and can also use a sextant to get across the pond, and we talked about that at the McDonald Observatory) .

Whoa! Talk about high tech!

Snail mail is great for keeping our plans to overthrow the system away from the tech overlords.

I miss paper emails. It was fun to receive mail that wasn’t a bill. I don’t even get those anymore since everything is online.
