Fie on you, US Postal Service! We couldn't find any 2 cent stamps left, in order to complement our Muppet stamps with some Navajo jewelry, Now we're faced with a huge mailing we need to do (hateful wedding etiquette that says reply card envelopes must be stamped also!), and the lines at the post office have been sooooo long. And angry. Gothamist could go to Mailboxes Etc., where they'll charge, oh, about 25% more for the new stamps, but if we're going to do that, we might as well get some personalized stamps. Personalized stamps cost more, but at least they'll have a picture of our favorite one-eye cat! (The one eye makes him look rakish!)
And the USPS's domestic rate chart, which is bound to change again under our noses some time soon.

you can order stamps online. they charge you $1 for shipping and they send them priority mail so they get there in about 3 days.
another idea is to simply bring a $10 bill (or several, depending upon how many stamps you need) and use the stamp machines peppered throughout the post office lobbies. no lines.
Some stamp machines were sold out!

Jen, what's the story behind your one-eyed cat?
Travis is my fiance's cat [Jay got him 15.5 years ago (!!!) at a NYC Bide-a-Wee; Travis was a 2 year old "tree rescue" back then]. There was this brownish mass in Travis's left eye, and the vet recommended that it be removed, since there was no way to biopsy it and since it might be malignant. Once the eye was taken out, it turned out to be benign, but what can you do?
Travis adapted well and is a real charmer. But Jay refuses to let me put an eyepatch on Travis for Halloween.
it's interesting that every news organization has mentioned that this stamp raise snuck right up on them. and they're okay with that? how about calling attention to the fact before and stopping it?
I have a one eyed cat too! he had meningitis as a kitten. Poor guy. Does their depth perception ever improve? or will he swat at the kitty fishing pole from 3 feet away for the rest of his life?
What about the One-Eyed Cat with No Nose?

what can you do to change it? probably nothing. congress passed a law that the usps had to put $3 billion in an account every year.
we mentioned that in the post on saturday.
He doesn't need an eyepatch-- he needs a monocle!
