We've been hearing a lot about problems with our postal service for quite a while now, beginning during the final year of the Trump presidency and continuing to this moment, when we are repeatedly reminded to mail holiday packages as early as possible and to expect everyday mail to take longer than expected to arrive at its destination for the foreseeable future. How did we come to this? That's a long conversation filled with shared and conflicting opinions. As is usual with me, when I ponder the present my mind goes to television programs of the past that addressed similar situations in the simpler terms of their time. In this case, an episode of the vintage series Lassie that was first seen in 1959 comes to mind. You read that right.
Leave it to Lassie to Deliver the Mail
