[Dx-qsl] Where's Canada Again?

Sat Nov 27 15:12:23 EST 2010

Recently when I was in the post office for airmail stamps, the counter 
person asked me where my card was destined, I said St. Lucia in the 
Caribbean. I was asked then what part of Asia that was in, that they hadn't 
heard of that place before. Maybe the USPO keeps raising rates because 
they're sending our mail half way around the world, only to find out it's 
not where they thought?
I would be pleased to teach a geography course to the USPO sorters...for a 
price. I can only take so much .....
Happy mailing all !!!
