			<description><![CDATA[... and issuing postage stamps!<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ckg8jllq283o" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">Denmark</a><br />
<br />
I just read this, but am not surprised, quite frankly, which is why I'm still gobsmacked at the Canadian postal union's flailing attempts to keep a dying service alive, even as Canada Post loses 10 MILLION DOLLARS per day. And I speak as a stamp collector! <img src="https://kingstonstampclub.ca/forum/images/smilies/confused.png" alt="Confused" title="Confused" class="smilie smilie_13" /> <br />
<br />
Thoughts, anyone?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I have been taking an interest in our local postal infrastructure because of Graham (Exploring Stamps) Beck’s new PixPost app. A few days ago the quest led me to the post office on CFB Kingston. I was delighted to find it was more than a retail post office - it was also the distribution point for Military Post Office 305 Vimy. An MPO, a postmaster in camo and great cancels - well worth the time invested in the ferry line!<br />

			<description><![CDATA[When I dreamed of living in a house down a peaceful country road, I imagined my mailbox. It was going to be a miniature version of my house at the end of my long driveway. The reality is a group of four community mailboxes on a busy corner almost 2 km away. And so I get both envious and very happy when I come across a great mailbox. These two on Wolfe Island are old favourites:<br />

We used to get the Kingston Whig delivered, but that luxury ended during the pandemic. I am thinking of decorating the “Whig tube” at the end of my driving and using it for local mail …]]></description>
