No. This is not a partial picture of me but rather an example of about 10 different styles of Men's Khaki pants available at Amazon. I ordered a pair last Tuesday evening after not being very happy with what we found in Lincoln. They came this morning and I am well pleased. This style of marketing is another example of the many changes that are taking place around us. Often we don't wake up until major changes have already happened. It will be interesting to see what role the U.S. Postal Service may have in on-line commerce or whether private enterprise will make the deliveries. Our recent eBay activity has made us more sensitive to postal rates. What it cost us to mail items makes us wonder why we get so much "junk mail". I know that non-profits have special rates but how about all the catalogs that we get this time of year. For that matter, I wonder about magazines such as Time and Sports Illustrated that are delivered every week. I enjoy both of them but the subscription price doesn't appear to begin to cover the cost of mailing. Maybe that is why the USPS lost another 5 Billion Dollars last year. (And, Nebraska lost another football game after 5 turnovers)
