US Postal Service is Cool

A Philatelist is a person that collects stamps. When I was a small kid, my parents recognized that I was kinda geeky, so they started buying me stamp collections. They were really kinda cool, but as I got older and my interests went to comic books and girls, I gradually lost interest in stamps.

I don’t even know where my old stamp collections are- Mom, Dad, if you are reading this, see if you can dig through some of the old junk and locate these stamps. They might be worth something!

The US Postal service is cool because it is the only federal agency that pays its own way, and actually makes a profit. They do this by selling stamps and other items. And have you been to a post office lately? Its turning into what looks like a party store! You can buy baloons, gifts, signed and framed custom stamp prints, and lots more. Plus, you gotta love the cool jeeps they drive around in.

Now look at the new stamps they just issued. Comic Book heroes on Stamps! Its a geeky philatelist’s dream!
