Post Office, et al

While I do not have a problem with the post office reducing service to five days a week, I do have a problem with the proposal to close on Tuesdays. Why? Was that proposed so that working people would still have services available on Saturday? It would be ridiculous for postal employees to have Sunday off, work Monday, and then take Tuesday off. The better solution is to give employees Sunday AND Monday off. That still gives working folks access to services on Saturday and gives postal employees two consecutive days off. That apparently however, is too logical for government people.

Then we have Chris Daly trying to wreak further damage to the city by trying to eliminate the "rainy day fund". Hasn't the financial meltdown of the past year taught this idiot anything?

Now BART want to implement Wi-Fi on its system. Why? Can't people leave their computers alone for a few hours each day. How about some quiet meditation time during commute hours. There is no need of being on-line before, during, and after work hours with no time to enjoy one's life with friends and family. The computer is a great tool which has its place in the business world as well as for leisure time activities at home but not twenty-four hours a day.
