This morning, I went over to the post office at the Flying J and found it closed with no new mail in our post office boxes.
The p.o. mistress called off and the Flying J doesn't want to have Rihanna (who ran the post office until about a month ago) doing any back-up.
I spoke with the manager and he said that they only get $10,000/year for the post office from the Postal Service and that doesn't cover the Flying J's costs.
Also, he said that it will probably be closed down in a month and we'll likely have to get our mail in Gallup.
Unless the Postal Service forks over more cash, we'll lose our post office. If we have to go into Gallup for our mail, we're screwed unless they can have it moved to either Fort Wingate or Church Rock, where there are existing post offices.
We'll have to wait and see what happens.
Maybe we ought to hold a protest and block the road to the Flying J. 😄
