HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!!!!!
GOOD MORNING POSTMAN FANS!
Just a quick hello to all of you as you
prepare for your holiday festivities. For
those of us who live in the good ole US of A,
it is memorial day weekend. Memorial day,
celebrated on Monday, is a day of parades,
bbq, and other great things, but most important,
it is a day we honor our veterans who have
sacrificed the ultimate in the defense of the
freedom we Americans know and have come to
love.
And it seems that the weather gurus have
done well to help us out, too. Yesterday, here in
beautiful West Michigan, the holiday started
with a wonderful 75 degrees and today is predicted
to be a balmy 85. (Altho Sunday maybe a bit tense,
as temps are predicted to top 90.) The economy
gurus say this will be a great weekend for travel,
as the dropping price of crude oil has sent a gallon of
unleaded gas down to a mere 3.60 a gallon, (Altho
to me, I do not understand why a mere 30 cents a
gallon difference should matter. If I wanna go somewhere, I'm
gonna do it and 30 centados will not matter.) The
war department and me will spend the majority of
today working in the yard, planting more tulips, a
yearly event. Monday we will probably travel a couple
hours and visit relatives. (We make a somewhat regular
attempt to maintain contact with the "outlaws".) Most folks
around here will flock to the beautiful beaches of
West Michigan, of which there are many. However,
personally, I think that to be a somewhat foolish
endeavor this time of year. Being such a huge body
of water, LK. Mich. takes a good 3 weeks of very hot weather
for the water to warm up sufficiently for good
swimming. But oh well, to each his own.
However you choose to celebrate and enjoy this beautiful
weekend, be safe, make sure to use sun block,
and be sure to remember those who
made it possible!
We do hope you enjoy today's issue
Cordially
Martin aka the postman
