I always love these little windows into how other people do things!

Anybody who lives in a rural area will appreciate how important the local post office is to the community - as a gathering place, information center, and the source of a huge volume of items coming into the community. Our little post office is so busy I know I'm not the only person shopping on-line.

In Canada, the post office also provides e-post which is how I receive as many bills as possible. This allows me to pay them on-line and keeps the clutter down. While I love on-line payments, I'm still old-fashioned enough to not want anything to happen automatically so haven't set up the auto-withdrawals. It's so seldom that I write a cheque it always surprises me when the money comes out of my bank account and I have to view it to remember what the heck I paid by cheque. I've moved, changed my name, and my phone number since buying cheques so they're always scribbled up with changes and look a mess but I'm too cheap to buy new ones for the 2-per-year used.
