    I haz a sad because I have to re-home a generally sweet dog, a 16# very cute terrier mix guy, 1 year old. He snapped at another little girl and bit or scratched my 6 – year old on the face, not enough to break the skin but enough to raise a welt. He is in no way Cujo but I just can’t keep him, he needs a household without young children. My older son is really, really upset. If anyone in NC without young kids and without cats is looking to add a little guy, I’d love to hear from you, I can give you plenty of details and pictures. He does great with most other dogs, if they’re active.

    One more rant. I just found out that for my kids’ public school, the copying limit last year was 1200 copies per month. That’s about 60 copies per work day, so when you consider the handouts that you need to run off for each of your 25 to 30 kids plus any handouts that need to go home to parents, not a huge amount. This year after significant budget cuts from our newly Republican general assembly, teachers can make 500 copies per nine week period. If you’ve got your calculator handy, that’s enough for the kids in your class to receive two sheets of paper from you per week. If the teacher has to, say, let everyone know about a field trip, then (s)he can make one instructional handout for that week. Douche. Bags.

Used to be in a computer lab, but that room was needed for a classroom this year. So it’s not like they’re moving to some sort of model where everyone has an iPad or something.

    @jeffreyw: Beautiful!

    @jibeaux: The teachers will just ante the money up themselves to do what needs to be done. The great untold story of the public schools is that the teachers subsidize a lot of it already, in supplies and extras for the kids. Because they care.

    And of course parents subsidize a lot of the extras too. Like field trips and parties, class supplies…I was once asked to send dryer lint for God only knows what purpose. I just refused. That was a bridge too far. I just thought I would let the type A mommies handle that one.

    My significant other and I were out Monday taking our pups on a run. The dogs ran, we biked. It’s the only way we can keep up with them. This time we chose a local irrigation canal that runs through walnut and almond orchards. At the end, when we had loaded the pups into the truck & were about to load up the bikes we heard a plaintive and very loud MEOW coming from one of the trees about 20 yards away. It was a little kitten about 6 weeks old. Apparently it had been dumped there (great, dump you new litter in a coyote habitat). She was scared, but not scared enough that she didn’t call out loudly for help when she heard us. We heard her. Now we have a new kitten our house, Penny Lane. She immediately liked us, purring up a storm on the way home and wasn’t fazed by the dogs in the least. Nice addition. It’s funny how things work. Last week we had to put down our eldest dog. She was 17 and couldn’t get up on her own any more, could hardly walk. It was terrible, it was sad, but it was the right thing to do for her. It was time.

    Some times, when one door closes, another opens. Kinda zen in a way. Nice transition though.

    I’m not sure about that. Operating revenues have been declining as people stop using first class mail. There has been a huge shift in how people use, or don’t use, the Post Office.

    But you are right that the pension issue adds to the mess, and there is political crap also at work. From a recent story:

    On Tuesday, Thomas D. Levy, senior vice president and chief actuary of The Segal Co., told the Senate panel that his firm’s 2010 analysis of the Office of Personnel Management’s pension allocation principles found that a failure to reflect future salary increases “we did not believe … was fair and equitable.” Segal estimated that proper allocations would save USPS $6 billion to $8 billion in future payments.
    __
    Many members of Congress, including Sen. Thomas R. Carper, D-Del., who chairs the Senate Subcommittee on Federal Financial Management, Government Information, Federal Services and International Security, which has jurisdiction over the USPS, are sympathetic to changing the pension calculations and recognizing the pension surplus, but are caught between other legislators who see the crisis an opportunity for structural reforms, including labor concessions.

    The post office is still a bargain. Problem is, in the age of email, the post office is becoming a relic of an earlier age.

    I never wrote about the Post Office having to make a profit. The problem is that the Post Office is becoming irrelevant, and people who cheer the demise of print newspapers, of records and CDs, of terrestrial radio, etc to new technology, don’t have much of a leg to stand on when they indulge an inconsistent and false nostalgia for the post office. Here is part of the problem.

    The rise of email has dramatically curbed the mailing of old-fashioned letters, while competitive delivery companies have put the squeeze on the post office’s business model. Last year, the post office delivered 171 billion pieces of mail, down 20% from just four years earlier. Volume is on track to fall an additional 2% this year.
    __
    Labor costs amount to 80% of the service’s expenses, and current contracts contain a no-layoff provision. Changes to the frequency of service or delivery areas require federal legislation.

    My mother and stepfather worked for the post office, as have a huge number of friends of my family. I would not want to see anyone lose their jobs.

    But what do you do when the amount of mail that has to be delivered is steadily declining? Do you maintain a service that fewer people use just to keep people in jobs?

    What about people who get checks or run businesses dependant on mail service? UPS and Fed Ex also use the post office sometimes.

    My niece and nephew are 14 and 16. They have never used the Post Office to mail a letter in their whole lives. I don’t think they have ever bought a CD either. Email, mp3s, Facebook, greatly determine how they function in their brave new world.

    Yes, but I don’t see why, by their own goofball logic, all the same facts don’t add up to the Deity’s intense displeasure with Rick Perry. I mean, the guy prays for rain and fires break out, he announces he’s running for president and the Washington Monument cracks, you’d think wingnuts would be scared to death of this guy.

    @cleek:
    It depends on how soon you want your car to fall apart. Audis aren’t cheap to maintain. OTOH, if you compare the cost of Audi maintenance to the cost of having to buy a magnet-equipped trailer to catch the pieces that fall off of your Dodge then it evens out.

    Bullshit. I’ve owned two Dodges over the last 8 years. Neither fell apart and neither cost me much in maintenance. My current car, an Intrepid, is almost 10 years old. The body is great shape and the most I’ve spent on it is the radiator I had to replace when I ran into a snow bank a couple of years ago during a blizzard.
