4/10 of an inch of rain? Seriously? Is that a typo?

It has to be a typo, right?

That’s a light drizzle in FL!

I know, right?

We got almost 2 inches of rain in an hour one day last week, and we weren’t even in a hurricane pathway.

Well, that’s not good at all…

No one has to do that, USPS does it all on its own. :wink:

This reminds me of the “Help! The Sky is Falling!” type panic from a few months ago about the end of Net Neutrality.

The Wikipedia article for this “Universal Postal Union” mentions that, as of 2018, it costs 2x as much to mail from the USA to the USA as it does for China to mail to the USA. :astonished:

Which looks like a pretty good indicator that the current system has some serious issues.

I’ve lived in Oklahoma, Texas & Florida and never noticed it on the shelf. They have an industrial strength Kleenex that we buy.

I remember seeing them when we lived in Iowa several years ago. I haven’t really noticed them lately. But then again, I haven’t looked.

Dunno, it’s not on store shelves in my area. :slightly_frowning_face:
Out of curiosity I checked the normal grocery stores as well as the local Warehouse Club.
