One recent topic for The Wall Street Journal's front-page space set aside for stories other than the daily shenanigans of business, politics and wars was the community in Florida created for retired letter carriers. ("In Florida, These Retirees Deliver a First-Class Protest," March 27.)
The town, which is carved out of the wooded area on the north shore of Weohyakapka, a lake that lies just about midpoint between Tampa and Palm Bay, is called Nalcrest. It's a made-up name, the acronym of the National Association of Letter Carriers Retirement, Education, Security and Training. Its residents joke that it stands for National Association of Letter Carriers at Rest.
The article caught my eye not just because the USPS has been in the news, again, as the article itself noted. Also, I've been exasperated by the ever more unreasonable complexities of the rules and rates the Postal Service devises.
