E-mail! We received an e-mail about this sign on Sunday while we were out-of-town; so we took the pictures while on our walk yesterday. The text of the message that was in our in-box is listed at the B – E – E – P !

What if there was no mail?

According to this article in the New York Times, Postal Service Is Nearing Default as Losses Mount, “The United States Postal Service has long lived on the financial edge, but it has never been as close to the precipice as it is today: the agency is so low on cash that it will not be able to make a $5.5 billion payment due this month and may have to shut down entirely this winter unless Congress takes emergency action to stabilize its finances.”

There’s a sobering thought! Read the article here.

Doing what he says.

While walking through Columbia’s downtown on a gray Labor Day morning, the Mayor greeted us as he was peddling his bicycle up Locust Street. Mayor Lutz is a regular proponent of the fitness opportunities available in and around the Borough, and it’s great to see him in action. And, Mr. Mayor, good job wearing a helmet – we like to see that; it sets the safety example for everyone!

Waiting for the parade? Saw these chairs on Second Street!

Weed weather! It’s tougher than all-get-out to rein in the weeds we know. These weeds are some of the ones sprouting on Borough owned property.

A new business coming … A new sign’s in the window of this one-time pet store, antique store. We extend congratulations and best wishes to the owner of Release Hair & Nail Salon!

Dog in a fountain

Walked around Lancaster a week ago. Watched this dog having a super time trying to catch the bursts of water from the fountain in Binns Park.

Construction Rodeo!

And this billboard advertises something that’s different and it may spark some ideas! The Associated Builders and Contractors, Inc. Keystone Chapter’s “Construction Rodeo” is slated for Sunday, September 25.
