When I moved from Edmonton to New York a dozen years ago, I was quite surprised the first time I saw the mail being delivered on a Saturday. Somehow, I'd gotten by for the first three decades of my life with Canada's 5-day-a-week mail delivery.

In the news this week: the US Postal Service wants permission to eliminate one day from its current six day delivery schedule.

I think we'll all get by if it happens.
