United States Postal Service Motto is Debunked
A Statue of Benjamin Franklin
The 1st Post Master General o The US Postal Service
Washington DC
“Neither Snow nor Rain nor Heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.” This the famous unofficial Motto of The United States Postal Service has been Debunked not by Snow, nor Rain, Nor Gloom of Night, but the US Postal Service did not deliver mail in March of 2020, stopped by the Pandemic of the Coronavirus in the United States of America, thus debunking the famed motto of Mailmen (and women) as they have temporarily stopped delivering the mail. I myself haven’t gotten my mail in the past 4 days, and I didn’t even know it, no notification, no announcement through the media on any TV News program at all, but simply because I ran into a lady who lives in my building and told me she had just come from the Post Office ( Varick Street, New York NY) where she picked up her mail. I didn’t even know, and I would not have known if my neighbor hadn’t told me what was going on (no delivery of the US Mail). I’m really shocked that this has not been in the news. Why? It is quite a big story.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I am not complaining at all, I’m just stating facts. There’s a lot of craziness and all sorts of life changes and adapting to a very different kind of life. “It’s a Pandemic,” so I understand that the Postal Service is not delivering the mail now. I’m just quite surprised that nobody told us. Seriously, what happened?
It was no big deal going to pick up my mail, just a 5 minute walk from my house to my local Post Office. I waited on line, got for about 10 minutes, gave the clerk my Drivers License as proof of identification. Then I waited about 6 minutes for the man to go find my mail and bring it back to me. Not too bad. And then it occurred to me that the famous US Mail motto, that Snow, Rain, nor Gloom of Night could keep them from delivering the mail, but Coronavirus and the pandemic of 2020 did. It’s now fact, the mail was not delivered. It’s quite historical? The day the mail didn’t get delivered, the Post Office and postal carriers were stopped from making their appointed rounds. Didn’t happen. No big deal. People often criticize the US Postal System, “I don’t know why? What the hell do they want.?” I for one have always been quite satisfied with their service. It’s excellent. Well, I think so anyway, and I still do, despite the fact that for the first time in my 50 plus years, they have not delivered the mail. They didn’t make their appointed rounds? So What, there’s a dam pandemic going on, we’ve all had to make adjustments, this is just one more. Not a big deal.
It is however a historical event. It’s historical and a big event at that, but far smaller than the bigger thing at hand, the Pandemic, but we’re gonna make it, we going to get thought this thing, and as Governor Cuomo said yesterday, “We’re gonna kick Corona’s Ass.” So I got my own mail? Big deal.
Basta!

Happy Valentines Day
“Be My Valentine”
Valentine’s Day (or Saint Valentine’s Day) is observed on February 14 each year. Today Valentine’s Day is celebrated in many countries around the world, mostly in the West, although it remains a working day in all of them. The original “St. Valentine” was just a liturgical celebration of one or more early Christian saint named Valentinus. All the modern romantic connotations were added several centuries later by poets.
The day first became associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished. By the 15th century, it had evolved into an occasion in which lovers expressed their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery, and sending greeting cards (known as “valentines”).
Modern Valentine’s Day symbols include the heart-shaped outline, doves, and the figure of the winged Cupid. Since the 19th century, handwritten valentines have given way to mass-produced greeting cards.

Best Veggie Burger Ever
The GREATEST THING SINCE SLICED BREAD
“I LOVE THEM” !!!
I LOVE Em !!! Dam? They are so Dam Good. 1st Off, I’m Not a Vegetarian, but about 8 years ago I started eating a lot less meat and more Veggies, and usually go 3 to 4 days a week Meatless. I was looking for a tasty Veggie Burger that I would LIKE and the 1st one I tried ( Quninoa Cowboy Veggie Burger by TRADER JOES) and it was literally LOVE at 1st BITE. “I just couldn’t believe How Dam Tasty this Veggie Burger is. A week later I tried the Trader Joe’s Masala Burger, it’s not that good. The Quinoa Cowboy Burger has the Masala Veg Burger BEST by 1,00 times and I don’t recommend the Masala Burger at all. I pan fry my Quinoa Cowboy Burger in a little Olive Oil on both sides, put it on a Toasted Buttered English Muffin with a little Mustard, Mayo, & Ketchup, Cheddar Cheese and 4 slices of Dill Pickle. It’s so dam Tasty and I LOVE it so much, I can’t stop eating them . PS I don’t like the Trader Joe’s English muffins, I’m sad tos ay, they’re not that good. I use another brand. But I do LOVE most things I try at TRADER JOE’S. GREAT Company.

Remembering Grace Kelly
Grace Kelly
Grace Patricia Kelly (November 12, 1929 – September 14, 1982) was an American film actress who, after starring in several significant films in the early- to mid-1950s, became Princess of Monaco by marrying Prince Rainier III in April 1956.
In the summer of 1954, Grace Kelly and Cary Grant were on the French Riviera working on an Alfred Hitchcock movie, To Catch a Thief (1955). It was probably the scene after she speeds along the Moyen Corniche to quickly get to the “picnic grounds” — and away from a tailing police car — that she had time to look at the Mediterranean and the countryside along the coast. “Whose gardens are those?” she asked screenwriter John Michael Hayes. “Prince Grimaldi’s”. She would not meet the prince until the following year. In New York in March 1955, she received a call from Rupert Allan, Look Magazine’s west coast editor who had become a friend since writing three cover stories on her. The French government wanted her to attend the Cannes Film Festival that May. She had to given some good reasons to go. One: The Country Girl (1954) would be shown at the festival. Two: she had really loved working on the Riveria the summer before. She met Prince Rainier of Monaco during the Cannes festival. He needed a wife, because with no heir to the throne, Monaco would again be part of France — after his death — and its citizens would have to pay French taxes. And Kelly thought it was time for her to select a husband, one who would finally meet with her parents’ approval. Her biographers show that the life of a princess was not exactly living happily ever after. Old friends from Philadelphia as well as people she had known in Hollywood reported how glad she was to talk about her life in America and to be speaking English. And then on a cliff road she had known so well since her first visit to the Riviera, there was the fatal crash. The spot is said to be the same spot where the picnic scene from To Catch a Thief (1955) was filmed in 1954.
Kelly retired from acting at the age of 26 to marry Rainier, and began her duties as Princess of Monaco. It is well known that Hitchcock was hoping she would appear in more of his films which required an “icy blonde” lead actress, but he was unable to coax her out of retirement. Kelly and Rainier had three children: Princess Caroline, Prince Albert, and Princess Stéphanie. Kelly retained her link to America by her dual U.S. and Monégasque citizenship. Princess Grace died at Monaco Hospital on September 14, 1982, succumbing to injuries sustained in a traffic collision the previous day. At the time of her death she was 52 years old.
