Having the power go out occasionally due to bad weather is understandable, but we basically lose electricity all the time now in central/east Dallas. I don't know what the problem is.

It just cost us at @deepvellum the same amount to mail a book to a customer in Denali National Park as it did to one in Oakland & another on Swiss Avenue in East Dallas. Affordable & accessible to all, the Post Office is a national treasure.
