A telltale sign that the mail has been delivered to our building is a rubber band on the hallway floor. We also see rubber bands in the driveway or on the porch. It makes us wonder how many rubber bands get dropped across the city as mail is delivered daily to thousands of properties, six days a week. It's a small thing in the overall scheme of things, but these rubber bands can add to debris that goes into city storm sewers and the annual tab must add to the USPS operating burden. Do you see them near your mailbox?

I must defer to Bootsy's web site on this one

A story - when I worked in a special ed school, I won over one of my toughest kids by making him some Bootsy star glasses out of poster board.
