#BettyWhite now has her own #ForeverStamp from the #USPS , thanks to Boston-area artist #DaleStephanos .

It took him about a year to design and complete. At the request of Betty's family, he included references to her work championing the cause of #AmimalRights , the most obvious symbol being the pawprint earring.

Stephanos' image of Betty brilliantly captures her sense of mischief and fun, by perfectly portraying her joyful smile and sparkling eyes.

#BettyWhiteStamps are now available for purchase through the U.S. Postal Service.

"Effective February 5, 2025, the Postal Service will continue accepting all international inbound mail and packages from China and Hong Kong Posts. The USPS and Customs and Border Protection are working closely together to implement an efficient collection mechanism for the new China tariffs to ensure the least disruption to package delivery."

Shorter: You'll get your package but it will come "postage due."

Spotted this mail box Lock just down the street (Union and Main) from where there was some sort of police incident an hour earlier.

My best guess is that someone tried to dispose of evidence in the post office box?

Sorry this is time stamped 2024-12-06T13:22-06:00 and I forgot to post it till now

Attn #NorthCarolina voters: Be aware of receiving an official-looking Election Notice in the mail. It’s a scam, but could easily trick people into handing over their information.

New #insurance through my employer with the start of the new year. The new #insurancecard has not yet arrived. I’ve been looking through the #mail, thinking that I missed it, but received an email letting me know that the cards are really on the way and were mailed before December 15.
