SHOW ME YOUR POST OFFICE

I read that USPS will be shutting down smaller post offices soon. I fear my little town PO may be one of the ones to go, so I took a photo. I’d love to see your hometown post office, too.

Helen, I mailed my envelopes from the mailbox in front of the post office.  I live in a very small town. I do NOT put my return address on anything, but they figured out who I was (I'm guessing by the mail I used to receive.  (My mailbox is closed and I am more or less "retired" from mail art). I had a note to go to the post office,  and there were TWO of my envelopes being held...and I was told, basically,  NOT to send any mail art any more. 

Now, when I do mail it, I mail when I go to the mainland, away from the island I live on and the mail art police at the post office.

Maxima Strange. Merci

That’s what I thought. I’d rather check to avoid missing a "private joke" special mail-artist. :-)
I’ve never had a comment like that. I put my envelopes in mailboxes on the street. I don’t go to the post  office. No counter, no unpleasant comments.

Helene, it is his humorous way of saying that the handlers at this particular post office refuse to accept his wonderfully extravagant envelopes for mailing.

Monster A Gogo, You write "Mail Art Police". What does that mean?

Pam, I thought as much. It's always best to be prepared.  Good luck with your continued postal crime spree.

Monster, yes, I have my sunglasses and mustache in the glovebox, ready at all times.

LOL, Monster A GoGo

Oh my, Pam! I blew the photo up and saw the "wanted" poster with YOUR face on it and something about "postal violations"??? Absolutely SHOCKING!  Is there a reward,  er, uh...are you forced to wear disguises when you post things??? Oh my stars!

Oooo, that’s a little one, Pam. Convenient!

This is the small post office I use the most because it's right down the street from me.
