Almost posted a hardware question here. Hate to get flamed for no reason :p Wait, no, I suppose here goes: Listening to the radio this morning the announcer was criticising the lack of postal service today in memorial of President Fords passing. Come on! Sorry. BTW, saw the MVP list congrats to you all.
On two occasions I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question. - Charles Babbage

I didn't know about this until I went to the post office today to drop off two packages. Now I have to go out of my way again tomorrow to get the packages in the mail. I mean jessh...he was president 30 years ago. Come on - why do we have to close down the post office for this. I thought their slogan was through rain, sleet, snow, etc, the mail will get through. Apparently not.

Come on indeed. Gerald Ford was appointed vice-president despite his own deep-seated misgivings. He accepted the position because he viewed it as his duty to his country, a country that was at the tail end of a decade of social turmoil. When Richard Nixon resigned, Ford was forced into the presidency, a position he certainly didn't want. Regardless, he performed the job to the best of his ability. The man deserves our respect. Flying flags at half-mast and closing post offices for a day isn't that strenuous a gesture.

To respect the man, the office which he held, and institution that he represented.

I have to physically go to the post office to send priority mail (US Post office version of FedEx 2 day service). Which means I have to leave work early to stop by the post office and drive out of my way to get there.
