The Atlanta Pride Festival returns to its home in Piedmont Park this year, but in a new season — Oct. 31-Nov. 1 instead of a weekend in June.
Expect a big crowd — the festival has drawn up to 200,000 in the past, although attendance was down during its brief move out of Piedmont Park during the drought. Given the timing around Halloween, they expect even more than usual to be wearing costumes. There are some special events meant only for adults, but the festival itself is family-friendly and open to all, whether gay, heterosexual, lesbian, trans or otherwise.
If festival regulars have advice for how to better enjoy the weekend, suggestions are always welcome in the comments!
To start, here's what you need to know before you go:
The Pride Festival itself is free, but there are some special events that require paid admission, and plenty of unofficial events at restaurants, clubs and stores nearby. For the festival itself, you'll see people who spend all weekend at Piedmont Park, and others that drop by for an hour to see the Festival Market. Before you go, I suggest you check out Atlanta Pride's list of special events, and this list published in the AJC last week. Here are details on a few of the best-known events:
What to bring, what not to bring
All the usual Piedmont Park rules apply during this festival. Don't bring tents with stakes or anything that must be driven into the ground, glass containers, alcoholic beverages, weapons or pets — no dogs, no snakes — unless it's a service animal. As of Friday, weather forecasts are getting a little uglier, with some rain likely. Wear a hat and sunscreen. There will be water available throughout the park and at certain events.
How to get there
Wear your walking shoes, because there's a lot of ground to cover. Here's a festival map that shows the stages and locations for different activities. Now, to get to the park…
How to stay in touch
Atlanta Pride is on Twitter @atlantapride and on Facebook.
Want to go? Atlanta Pride Festival. Oct. 31-Nov. 1. Free. Piedmont Park, 1071 Piedmont Ave. N.E., Atlanta. 770-491-8633, Atlantapride.org.

Ha any one moticed that this is the ONLY place where the AJC has seen fit to cover anything about Pride. No pictures, no reports nothing. They always find space to cover Frolicon and other events but not Pride.
For all of the professions by the AJC that they are fair minded, they sure seem a tad homophobic to me.

Some of these comments make me sick. I am 90 percent straight but I enjoy going to pride every year. I don't think twice about going or taking my daughter or grandson to any of the feastivities. The more they are exposed to the real world, the better person they will be.
Go to an all white event or an all black event one you have one thing in common. Someone is going to fight. Go to pride and everyone just wants to just get along. We all just want to relax and have a good time and enjoy the company of friends.

God blessed us with a beautiful day. It was really nice to be back in the park this year.
Looking forward to next years Pride Events already. Thanks Pride Committee , job well done.

My partner (of 11 years) and I are celebrating this pride with the birth of our daughter Lilli, now 8 days old and our 3 year old son Jaiden.
Jaiden and I will watch the parade while Mommy & Lilli stay home. We are a happy family and we send our love and appreciation for everyone showing their pride!!
Everyday in everyway life gets better and better!!
Happy Pride Ya'll!!

Today I will be proud in Atlanta. Tomorrow I will move to France to be with the man I love. The US federal government would rather I leave than offer me the same rights that heterosexuals take for granted. True equality in this country seems like such a distant dream. I will miss my home and family but that is the sacrifice I must make.
Happy Pride everyone!

So OTP Gay Conservative has the nerve to condemn and negate the value of something he clearly states he has never even seen or been a part of. Typical conservative bulls**t. Guess what, the world does not feel the need to conform to your personal desires. As for the extremist at the parade. It is because of them that the banker and the lawyers amongst us have the freedom to hold hands in the park.

To all gay people, I love you and wish you a wonderful day at the festival. For today, ignore the Fox News crowd and celebrate because tomorrow you will have to be ready to fight again for what should be yours. I am so proud of you for standing up for your civil rights against so much hate.

The Jerry Maguire Syndrome
Or: How I Got on the Road to Entrepreneurship
This is a bit of departure from the normal SEO/SEM talk I usually have here. But a topic that's equally important, perhaps even more so, when you've mastered your craft and have to decide which way to turn.
Search engine marketing didn't start in an agency setting. It wasn't created in a board room of an agency/firm; it just got incorporated that way when people started needing the service. That's how a lot careers start; the marketing department of an agency that focused on websites.
If you're lucky, you always love the shop life. And the shop life will always love you too. Or, you can be like a few SEOs/SEMs I know, wake up one morning, find yourself in a place, and not be entirely sure how or why you got there. Take a few minutes and see if this mission statement scene from Jerry Maguire rings true to you.
Everyone Goes Through Tough Times in Shop-Life
Maybe you've never reached that point. Maybe you have. Maybe you're even there right now. The fact is, everyone goes through something in agency/shop/firm life. It's just a part of the game; people leave, new people arrive: dynamics change. The question is do you work through it and try to implement changes, put your head down and barrel onward, or do you find the nearest exit and bolt? Every situation is going to be different. Different variables and factors.
Let's be clear for a moment. Putting your head down and barreling through a rough time does not make a person of gelatinous nature. I'd argue that it takes a hell of a lot more spine to stay in an untenable situation and work toward making changes that make your job easier. And, yet even as I say that, there's a point where spine turns to stupid and thick-headed. So how do you know if you're there?
The Phases of "Dealing With It"
This is a collection from my own personal experience over the years, and I'm sure there are some that I'm missing so feel to let me know.
Working on Changing the System
The Breakthrough Change
You've been pissed for a weeks. For no reason at all: on weekdays you wake up depressed and angry. You drive/bike/commute to work and you're pissed. Your day is a swirl of annoyance. You get home and it melts away until you go to bed.
After a certain amount of time, a month or two, you realize being angry just sucks. People think you're an asshole and it's not making you situation any better. So you decide if you want change, you have to change yourself and the system. You bend the ears of co-workers, you bend the ears of management. They love your ideas, they want to implement them. You make your list of things to improve and how to achieve it.
Months later you're still getting the run-around. Phrases like: "It takes time", "Rome wasn't built in a day", and "We're working on it" seem to be all you hear. Meanwhile, the anger backfills. You're getting the picture: this place is the Hindenburg and we're all going down in flames.
Fuck it. Why care about it? No one else does. Everyone is perfectly happy to sit and wallow in the doom they've created. They're screwing themselves and their clients. You just want to be left alone, collect paychecks, and stay off the radar. No hassles, no problems.
One day you wake up, and it hits you; I'm going out on my own. Your skill set is in high-demand, you are damn good at what you do, and you know for certain there are a lot of people who need (really need) what you do.
Your Personal Manifesto
This is that Jerry Maguire moment. Standing on your ethical and moral high-ground you march out into the forest. You know how you want to conduct business, you know the clients you want to work with, you know how to charge and how to produce meaningful results. And, as Dicky Fox said, "It's all about personal relationships."
For me, that is my manifesto. I want partnerships. I want clients that are serious about marketing themselves online and believe and trust I have the toolbox to make it happen. It's why I created my company. It's why I have the utmost respect for the Danny Sullivan's, Rae Hoffman's, Aaron Wall's, Andy Beal's, Janet Driscoll-Miller's, and David Harry's of the SEM world.
What's your manifesto?
It's Scary Out There. It's Exciting Out There Too.
I'll be the first to tell anyone that going out on your own isn't easy. It's downright scary. There's no safety net. You walk the tightrope or you fall. You've got to bring your game-face out every day. The struggle is real. Especially with the veritable flood of SEM agencies, traditional agencies going "digital", and hack-freelancers crowding the market. You'll fight for every inch you get.
But, it's exciting too. You call the shots. You make the rules. You get to name success. There's a real satisfaction from helping a small business or the person going at it alone, and making their business grow. It's a great reward.
Or maybe you're taking small steps; keeping your full-time gig and working projects on the side. It's a great way to build your reputation and keep security. But you'll be burning the candle at both ends and soon you'll have to make a choice. Hopefully this post gets you pointed in the right direction and helps you make the right choice.

About Extension Sustainability
What is Extension Sustainability?
Extension Sustainability provides credible information and trainings fostering increased awareness and behavioral change to improve environmental, social, and economic conditions.
Sustainability is the capacity to improve environmental, economic and social conditions. As stated in "A Vision for Relevance" by the National Network for Sustainable Living Education (2008), "visualize a pair of overlapping circles representing social and economic sustainability, set within and constrained by an encompassing circle of environmental sustainability – without which the sustainability of the other two circles is not even a possibility."
To live sustainably is to follow an ethic, not a rigid set of rules. Sustainability is a human matter, not exclusively an environmental one. As a result, it must include successful problem solving and objective measurement. Although the term sustainability has grown to encompass a broad spectrum of meanings, energy and natural resources serve as its core basis. The most common misconception about sustainability is that it has to involve sacrifice and, in relation, that its main focus is on recycling and consuming less.

Four years ago Ellis Holtom, of Stratford-upon-Avon, was born with half a working heart. Later, the Herald featured his condition as a tribute to the work of Birmingham Children's Hospital where he was treated. Now, to mark Congenital Heart Defect Week his mum, Vicki, updates his story. . .
ALL 326 local planning authorities in England, councils like Stratford-on-Avon District, need a local plan. The core strategy is a component of that local plan. It contains all the local district wide policies that need to be considered when processing planning applications. New development needs to satisfy local needs, helping to realise the hopes and ambitions of its communities and protect them from situations they fear. New homes and places to work should provide then with a healthy lifestyle, a pleasant place to live, good recreational facilities and above all the infrastructure that enhances their quality of life. The buzzword to describe this is 'sustainable'.
THE poor are paying more than they should be for their energy, according to damning new evidence from Stratford-upon-Avon's Citizens Advice Bureau. Prepayment meters (PPMs) are costing users in fuel poverty a "disproportionate amount" for what little gas and electricity they can afford, the bureau has found. There are around 7.2 million people on prepayment meters in the UK and several thousand in the district of Stratford. Despite Stratford's reputation as an affluent area, the bureau is being forced to come to the aid of more and more people living in fuel poverty on an increasingly regular basis.
AN OFFICIAL paving stone commemorating Stratford-upon-Avon's forgotten war hero for the 100th anniversary of the First World War will be placed in the town, the government has confirmed. Rex Warneford – the first man to single-handedly shoot down a zeppelin - was ignored in the government's initial plans to recognise Victoria Cross winners because he was born abroad in India. The Herald launched a campaign, together with King Edward VI school, where Rex lived and studied for five years, to get the fighter pilot recognised.
A TERMINALLY ill cancer sufferer has hit out at the "men in suits, acting like God, playing with people's lives."
Adrian Ashby, aged 49, of Alcester, has been told by Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Primary Care Trust that it will not fund life-prolonging treatment for his rare form of cancer.
Adrian, who is terminally ill with carcinoid syndrome, sat with his wife, Debbie, at their home in Oversley Green, and told the Herald this week, that the PCT decision, he received in a letter, was like "being kicked in the face". "I might as well start planning my own funeral," he said.
He thinks he's yet another victim of a postcode lottery system which sees some patients get treatment while others don't, simply because of where they live.
And even though he was diagnosed with cancer seven years ago and knows he hasn't got long to live, Adrian wants to be around for a while longer so he can spend time with his grandchildren.
He became a grandad last year. And like any proud parent he wants to live long enough to attend his son's wedding next year.
The life extending radionic treatment costs £50,000 and Adrian said he's even prepared to sell his house to pay the bill but his doctors have been left stunned by the PCT's refusal to act and believe Adrian is a prime case for targeted radionuclide therapy and urged him to go public with his story and tell the media.
In a remarkable demonstration of people power, friends and family have reacted angrily to the PCT decision and rallied round Adrian and Debbie with a series of forthcoming fundraising events in Alcester. A Facebook page called League of Friends, Adrian Ashby, has been created with over 1,000 supporters already signed-up and numerous pledges of financial support, including one from a local youngster who's pledged her paper round money to help pay for Adrian's treatment.
"We've been overwhelmed by people's support, it's very touching," said Adrian, who's obviously moved by the messages he's received and which continue to flood in. "I have no complaints with the NHS and the team of doctors and specialists who've supported me throughout but I'm sorry to say that the PCT panel who've refused me funding strike me as men in suits, acting like God who are playing with people's lives. I plan to appeal against the decision but this will once again involve highly-paid people sitting down to discuss my case, which costs more money to the tax payer. That money could have been used to fund my treatment in the first place."
Adrian was once an active member of the community. He regularly started the bidding at charity events and used to run the line at Alcester Town Football Club. He's well-known in the town having been the proprietor of Alcester Carpets and Curtains for the past 14 years. A business which his three sons now help run after they gave up their education to support dad after the cancer was diagnosed.
Now Adrian is restricted to sitting still in his armchair at home because it's too painful to move around the house. He weighs seven-and-a-half-stone and regularly has to have water drained from his stomach.
The tumours are unrelenting. He has them in his bowel, liver, groin, stomach lining and chest cavity and while early attempts to combat the cancer with tablets and chemotherapy failed, medical experts at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham are convinced the treatment Adrian now needs will extend his life by two more years.
Coventry and Warwickshire NHS PCT said in a letter to Adrian there was insufficient evidence for treatment to continue but he says that at no stage has any verbal contact been made by the PCT to explain why.
The PCT panel, which reviewed Adrian's case and ultimately decided to refuse funding, included Martin Lee, medical director at the Arden Cluster, who this week issued the following statement to the Herald: "I understand that this is a difficult time for Mr Ashby. Whilst I am unable to comment on an individual patient, we have a clear process in place for treatments that are not routinely commissioned to be considered as an individual funding request (IFR).
The process involves a panel of clinicians looking in detail at the patient's case and whether the patient's circumstances are exceptional such that funding should be provided for the particular treatment. When any funding request is turned down, there is always the option to appeal to the IFR review panel. In the case of cancer treatments, there is also the option to request funding from the West Midlands Cancer Drugs Fund, who are able to fund certain treatments in line with their policies."
The cost of the £50,000 treatment Adrian needs cov-ers the drugs and therapies but not any additional hospital costs such as staff time.
In desperation Adrian has also contacted Stratford MP Nadhim Zahawi who this week said: "I was very sorry to hear that the PCT felt unable to fund Mr Ashby's treatment and have written to the chief executive regarding their decision. However in recognition that decisions like these do happen the coalition government has allocated £600 million to an entirely separate cancer drugs fund which will pay for drugs, including radiopharmaceuticals, that PCTs feel unable to fund. So far this fund has helped 25,000 cancer patients in England and I hope will also be able to help Mr Ashby."
Adrian and his medical team are planning to appeal against the PCT decision, but for the time being, his struggle to live continues on a daily basis.
"I know I'm dying but I'd like more time with my family," he told the Herald.

The most recent thefts occurred at business on Wilma Rudolph Boulevard.
Police said the women have robbed more than one location in Clarksville, taking more than $30,000 in merchandise from stores in that city.
Investigators believe they have also robbed stores in other Middle Tennessee towns, including Nashville.

9 ways to cut summer energy costs
Follow these strategies to keep your air-conditioning costs down as the temperature rises this summer.
This post comes from Kimberly Palmer at partner siteU.S. News & World Report.
With energy costs on the rise, this summer could be sweaty -- and expensive. But there are some easy ways to trim your cooling costs without suffering through 90-degree evenings, sans air conditioning.
In fact, if you start preparing for the coming heat wave now, you can probably save a few hundred dollars. You'll also be doing the environment a favor, since the Energy Department estimates that half of a household's overall energy usage goes toward heating and cooling costs.
Plug up any holes. The cool air spewing out of vents should be treated like a precious vapor that must not escape. Inexpensive plastic film available at hardware stores can boost insulation around older windows where drafts are most likely. Foam and caulking can also help seal problem areas, as can extra insulation in the attic. Professionals can help with any installation challenges.
If you use window-unit air conditioners, make sure they fit tightly so air can't escape around the unit. The Energy Department recommends that window units have their own electrical circuits to reduce the risk of overloading the system. The agency estimates that creating a proper "thermal boundary" around your home can shave up to 20% off heating and cooling costs. Shutting the doors and vents of unused rooms can also lighten the load of your air-conditioning unit.
Close those shades. Anything that keeps the sun from coming in and creating a greenhouse effect will make it easier for your air-conditioning unit to maintain cooler temperatures. For the longer term, consider planting leafy trees or bushes in areas that give your home more coverage. (Post continues below.)
Keep the filters clean. It's a dirty job, but somebody's got to do it. In fact, Geoff Godwin, division vice president of Emerson, the country's largest provider of heating and cooling systems, says it's important to clean out air conditioning filters once a month, which usually involves running water through them and letting them air-dry.
Program the thermostat. If your cat is home alone all day, he probably won't mind if things heat up a bit before you get home. Programmable thermostats, which allow the temperature to automatically rise during the day when no one is home, can lead to annual savings of 30%, Godwin estimates. Even though most systems today have programmable thermostats, people only use them half the time, which means a lot of systems work harder than necessary. (If setting the thermostat leaves you scratching your head, the step-by-step videos on the government's Energy Star website can help.)
Unplug, unplug, unplug. Even television sets, DVD players, and computers that are turned off can suck power out of outlets (aptly referred to as "vampire power"). That's why you should either unplug your electronics or use a Smart Strip, which cuts power when it's not needed. One exception: Overhead fans, especially at night, can cool air more cheaply that turning down the thermostat.
Step away from the oven. Here's your excuse to order take-out, or at least rely more on pre-prepared meals. Turning on the oven heats up the rest of the house, too, which forces your air conditioner to go into overdrive. If you still want to cook, consider an outdoor grill, toaster oven or even the stovetop, which gives off less heat than the oven.
Take cold showers. Sure, you might need to crank up the water heater during those frigid winter months, but cooler showers in the summertime will let you turn down the temperature setting for a few months, which reduces energy costs. Godwin estimates that turning down the temperature on a 50-gallon tank from 130 degrees to 115 degrees can save more than $50 a year.
Bring in the professionals. Most experts suggest getting your unit serviced once a year, to check for potential problems such as mold, rusting or grime buildup, all of which can hamper efficiency. "A lot of people don't do that -- they ignore the AC system until something goes wrong," Godwin says. You can also give your home an overall check with an energy auditor, who can look for any air leaks and other inefficiencies.
Upgrade your systems. The Alliance to Save Energy suggests replacing older light bulbs with compact fluorescents. Doing so saves electricity directly, and fluorescents generate less heat. If you're buying other major items, such as washers, dryers, dishwashers or even televisions, don't forget to take energy efficiency into account. The Energy Department's Energy Star rating helps consumers navigate those purchase decisions, so look for products with the label.
If you're in the market for a new air-conditioning unit, the Energy Department recommends paying close attention to size. Some consumers mistakenly choose bigger units, thinking they'll be more powerful, but in reality, they can make too much noise and use up excess electricity. A unit that's the right size for the home will last longer and be more efficient, the agency says.
Taking these steps will not only reduce your monthly energy bills, but also create some room in your budget for summer fun.

deskTOPia: The hsetroot and Esetroot Background Tools
Users who work long hours on a
desktop computer will appreciate
something eye-catching to relieve
the monotony. The hsetroot and
Esetroot tools offer you more than
an ordinary desktop.
Long gone, and rightfully so, are
the days when Windows experts
used to sell their users on wallpaper
stripping as a top secret tuning tip.
Modern computers have more than
enough memory for a desktop background.
And in contrast to Windows 95,
most window managers in the Linux
world can handle graphics in compressed
and thus smaller formats such
as PNG or JPG.
Desktop environments typically have a
preferences dialog where users can
select a wallpaper. More basic window
managers may expect you to store background
images in a specific directory, or
even to point to the image in a configuration
file. Command-line programs that
load a background image remove these
restrictions. In this month's article, we
will be looking at two applications that
offer you more than just the ability to
paint a picture in the root window: Esetroot
[1] and hsetroot [2].

The Impacts of Higher Education Globalization on Chinese Universities
Globalization has increased the competitions of knowledge and economy between countries, and these competitions in turn made higher education become an important tool of enhancing the competitiveness of every country. However, today, the core thought pattern of global higher education is dominated by the western developed countries, which has affected the development of higher education in the developing countries seriously, and many developing countries just accept the higher education mode of the developed countries passively, but cannot affect the world due to their limited science & technology and economy level. Therefore, the development of higher education in many developing countries is confused and disoriented. In this paper, we will discuss the impacts as well as the plights and confusions that globalization of higher education brought to Chinese universities, and at the same time, discuss the measures that Chinese government and universities did in these years to adapt to the globalization. Finally, we will give some suggestions to improve the quality and efficiency of Chinese universities.
Key words: Impacts of globalization; Higher education; Plights and confusions; Reform measures

Thought on teachers
We love the observation, "highest paid teachers don't make the best teachers, just teachers we pay more."
So true.
Stay out of my wallet
Well, once again my ugly head re-emerges. Why? Just to remind those who use the welfare system as their livelihood that you're only kidding yourselves and the way you vote.
Did you know that the politicians that you vote for most likely make well over a 100,000 a year and get great benefits; meanwhile, they're just spoon-feeding you a measly allowance which taxpayers like myself are the ones paying. My personal thought is: get out of my wallet.
It's not my fault or anyone else's, but your own, for limiting yourselves to your own capabilities. For instance, did you know that "Obamacare" was ruled a tax, and people here in Florida no longer are able to work 40 hours a week. Now, well, maybe I as a taxpayer can ask you, the wonderful welfare recipient, to pay me the balance of what I would be getting for my extra effort at work. I'm entitled to that.
So a big thanks to those who are just looking for your free government subsidies and not looking at the big picture. Let's see now, if you weren't on the government payroll you would be driving a nicer vehicle than I could get. You wouldn't be doing a whole lot, would you, so welfare basically limits your real potential.
No wonder Fort Pierce suffers such a high poverty rate. Just a little something to think about.
Regarding Mr. Stewart
Thank goodness for Earl Stewart.
We uninformed need more informed people like him to keep us informed of the truth, which seems to be in short supply.
There seems to be no end to the ways big business and government will abuse and misuse the struggling taxpayer and consumer.
Thanks, Earl.
A look at teaching
When we consider public school teachers' compensation, it is reasonable to look at pupil achievement.
The picture is not pretty.
The National Assessment of Educational Progress reports that only 10 percent of high school students scored "proficient" in history.
Not proof of excellent teaching.
More on teachers
Let's see if we understand public school teachers. They claim that they love children. Then they claim that they love teaching children. And then they bitterly complain about their generous salaries, short work days, extended vacations and taxpayer-paid benefits. Go figure.
Repeat offenders
It is the same old story. We've heard it too often. It is pathetic that those who could strengthen our legal system are failing to take action.
A repeat criminal was placed on probation in February after serving less that half of his six-year term for grand larceny and assault on a police officer. Now he is identified as the cold-blooded murderer of one of his neighbors. Innocent people suffer when the do-gooders are soft on the bad guys. Another sad example of recidivism.
Stop stealing from yards
I live in Vero Lake Estates and some low-life, mother, daughter, husband, son or neighbor came into my yard and took my three ceramic mushrooms some time ago that I had for a few years.
Now some other low-life person came in my yard and took my three plastic flamingos that I have had in my yard for 20 years. They did leave one flamingo and two of the legs from the others.
I cannot understand this and please be sure when your wife, daughter, father or son or neighbor comes home and says look what I bought at a yard sale, they are lying.
If you have any feelings at all you, will return them with no questions asked. I will only beat you to within an inch of your miserable life, thank you.
Humane Society comes through
Not too long ago, my beloved Labrador retriever died. She was my best friend for 12 years. I am a senior citizen, don't drive and am on a fixed income. I was very worried that I wouldn't be able to afford to take care of her once she passed away.
I called the Humane Society and they assured me that they would take care of both of us once she died. The morning that she passed away, I called them and lo and behold, they came and took her. They cremated her and never charged me a penny. They knew how distraught I was, and they came the day after she died and gave me a great poem explaining how hard it was to lose a pet.
A few weeks after that, they came and took me to the pound and let me pick out another dog free of charge. I know this might not be something they can offer to everybody, but they really made such a difference to me.
I'm no longer sitting here lonely, missing my dog. I have a great new dog that keeps my busy and shows me so much love. I just want to say thank you so much to the Humane Society. You've made such a difference in this senior's life.
Neighbors should be more considerate
Maybe someone can tell me what happened to the loud noise law we supposedly have.
I can't sleep or watch a TV program these days, because my neighbor is playing the music so loud that the walls and floors shake and things fall down.
Then when I call 911 to have the police come to quiet them down, they don't show up at all. The police are so lazy. It took me calling three times before they finally showed up.
I just got home from work; it's 1 a.m. There was nowhere to park because of the party going on downstairs. It didn't stop until 2:30 a.m. They are bad neighbors.
An end to snail mail?
Except for very little, the federal government delivers little service and expects to be rewarded. The Post Office comes to mind.
In the 60s, I could get a letter from Louisiana to rural Pennsylvania in two days for 4 cents.
Today it is considerably more, with it taking four to 11 days. The postal service no longer needs to sort by hand, but planes (I've been told) are not always available.
The postal service has noticed a huge reduction in volume. It is no mystery. In any business it is customer service and value for money spent. The USPS is no longer competitive. The pony express was replaced when the telegraph came about.
Possibly, the postal service has seen its time.
Some bike advice
I've been driving for 40 years and riding a bike for 50. I have safely operated taxis, dump trucks, garbage trucks, moving vans and even some heavy equipment on the roads of this country (all over the place, in all kinds of conditions, from coast to coast, mountains and deserts).
If I, for any reason, had ever felt the least bit confused, I would have pulled over until my head totally cleared.
You, obviously, are exactly the person my rant was directed toward. Yes, you are confused and conveniently omitted the fact that the statutes on bikes have several sections and should be read in their entirety to be fully understood.
Anyway, law aside, if you are confused by a bike, dog, kid on a tricycle, skateboarder, wheelchair or pretty much anything at all, then maybe you should do us all a favor and park it, baby. The rest of us should be allowed to feel safe and the thought of confused people driving doesn't do it for me. I'm just guessing, but I don't think it does it for anyone.
