Marge, I have complained loud and long, and the general service just got 
worse.  Peekskill is notorious for bad service.  I once tried to insure an index I 
was sending to a publisher, and they wanted to know what was in it.  When I 
told them, they refused to insure it - said if it was lost there was no way to 
replace it. I protested strongly that I always insured my work, but they 
wouldn't move. Wouldn't you know, when the package arrived at the publisher's, it 
had been broken into and was empty.  Fortunately I always kept carbons - this 
was before computer days - and I had been early enough that I still met the 
deadline.  Since that time I have used FedEx, or if something must be sent by 
mail Express or Priority mail I drive to another town.
This goes back to the first year we lived here - 1970.  At Christmas we were 
solicited for cash gifts to the postmen - which is strictly illegal.  We 
didn't pay up, and have never had another package delivered - but we're not the 
only victims - hear it all around.
