My mailbox was stuffed with junk mail today, as it is most every day.
It's little wonder that prices on everything keep going up. Companies spend so much on mailing offers, they add to product cost.

Still the worst of it all is that great forests are ripped apart as paper mills do their sawing. Oddly enough, today after I picked up mail in my P.O. Box, including a number or junk items, a huge loaded lumber truck drove by. It was loaded with freshly cut logs and heading for the paper mill.

Most junk mail is a waste, in my opinion. Even the post office has a bin in the lobby where you can toss the junk as soon as you get it.
The fact that they recycle is good, of course. Still it's all a waste of time, effort and resources on the part of many.

I'm seriously thinking of canceling cable because I watch it much less now that I blog and can find most anything on the web.
One thing I might miss are cable TV's old mystery show reruns.
