Plan of ACTION - February 11,

Ever since the anthrax scare, letters in envelopes to the House or Senate have to go through a lengthy screening process, delaying arrival to the recipient by a matter of weeks rather than days. For this reason, it’s recommended to use postcards when sending handwritten missives.

So... action stations:

1.  If you’ve already laid in a supply of 49 cent or forever stamps, you can use them for postcards,
    but if not, then buy some 34 cent postcard stamps, in person at the P.O. or online at the
    USPS store.

2.  Buy some blank postcards. There are various options for buying these. For example, I plan
​     to order 50 blank cards for $8.95 from Amazon.

That's all, folks!
