Seed bell

I guess that this is for the people that put it up  rather then the birds, kinda like asking who the sign that says no dog except see and eye dogs allowed is for…

Nice thought means nice people some where here.

TBM

TBM Cleaning Service, in the 1980’s when the new Conservative government came to power the post office went from a government agency to a crown corporation.Matt Thompson the local Postmaster was offered a 30 thousand dollar buy out of his job along with thousands of others. He took advantage and started a business including blinds and a sowing supply shop.This business was a part as well. It is licensed, has insurance ,and bonded a real selling point for those that need security of their files and premises at night.

There are some people from time to time advertise house cleaning without the bonding and insurance and you still get what you pay for.

The business has good equipment and clean trucks in good condition.

Postage increase

Alexander Graham Bell, 1946 stamp

I recently used this 1946 stamp to accent a letter I posted to an in-house friend, I thought it was timely as that week the company was fined 1.3 million dollars that they agreed to  for violating the no call list administered by Revenue Canada. Bell a Canadian and a Scott invented the telephone, a challenge to the market of Canada Post; both survived.Today I saw a brochure showing that the postage is going up to 59 cents and tax from 54, next week. This may be a result of decreased volumes of 1st class mail due to electronics. The rates for letter mail in the range of 400 to 500 grams at $3.50 is a 25 cent increase. the nearly 10 percent 1st class increase is bigger then the 7 odd percent increase on letter mail in large envelopes from 400- 500 Grams. Handling must be higher on the larger items so the reason has to be higher expected volumes.
