Idaho wins right to have USPO service

To save money the US Post Master General decided to stop the mail plane crossing the mountains to the boonies of Idaho. In exchange for this service being ended the inhabitants were going to be given free PO Boxes at the nearest land serviced post office. For most of those customers it was an all day drive across rough terrain during summer and decent weather months to get to the nearest PO. In winter there just wasn't anyway to get there. I know I have mailed stuff to a couple of members in Idaho and it takes forever to get there and rarely is in one piece on arrival. They are fond of those three legged Idaho mules for carrying the mail over the hills. The second time a mail mule gets snowed in they go ahead and eat the whole thing since a two legged mule ain't good for much. Took a lot of arguing and threats of law suits but the PMG finally relented and re-instated the mail plane service to Idaho's hinterlands. So DWS will still get his porno mags and sex wax after only a month instead of waiting all winter between sessions.
