I have another blog that I post to from Mon.-Fri. I'm afraid that 8 posts a week are pretty much all I can manage. ;-)Orchid64https://www.blogger.com/profile/07132543155589881288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5103914919249706024.post-60955355469368639242013-11-12T01:40:51.417-08:002013-11-12T01:40:51.417-08:00Where are you?

I do notice that papers are wrapped in plastic here... which seems silly because it rarely rains. I just noticed how the Japanese did it based on the weather (case by case) whereas it seems to be all or nothing in this area. Obviously, YMMV. ;-)<br /><br />Thanks for your comment!Orchid64https://www.blogger.com/profile/07132543155589881288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5103914919249706024.post-71687070770188158662013-11-11T04:26:57.662-08:002013-11-11T04:26:57.662-08:00In defense of American newspaper delivery people o...In defense of American newspaper delivery people ours used to be put into a plastic bag when it was raining. But I endorse your other comment about the US Post Office. <br /><br />There is NO question that the Japanese are much more oriented towards ensuring that services are provided 'with customer satisfaction' clearly in mind! What a pleasure it is to be treated with such care when Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14492461563889268879noreply@blogger.com
