I miss the days of local postal delivery, when mailing something across town was quicker than “I should be able to drive it over there sometime next week.”
@petebrown the post office in our little town in Connecticut used to have a local box. They'd process the mail right there and deliver it the next day. Now it all has to be trucked to Hartford to be scanned, then trucked back to town for delivery, which takes a week if you're lucky and it doesn't get lost along the way.
