Randy & Cheri Pearson had been down in Mesa AZ doing some work on their winter haven, but returned home to enjoy Christmas with family in North Dakota, and to experience once again the joy of sub-Zero temperatures. Norbert reports that there wasn’t much snow south of Brookings, and that the driving conditions were good, even at Summitt where the wind is always blowing. Norbert & Beverly Kulzer drove down to Brandon SD on Friday, December 24, to spend Christmas at the home of their son & daughter-in-law, Stephen & Ann Kulzer, and 3 of their grandchildren: Lauren Brooke and, Will Kulzer. They don’t know, and wouldn’t tell you if they did.
So, what is happening? Don’t bother to ask the management of the Postal Service. Situations similar to that in Rutland are also occurring at other small town Post Offices across North Dakota and throughout the Nation. It doesn’t even tell itself what’s going on! At the current time, one department of the USPS is preparing to renew its lease on the building, while another USPS department has the building locked up and won’t allow it to be used as a Post Office.
It doesn’t just keep the public in the dark. The Postal Service is consistent, though. So, enjoy the New Year! It’s unlike any we have ever experienced, but, on the average, it’s just like everyone we’ve ever lived through.Īs far as the Rutland Post Office is concerned, as of Wednesday, January 5, the New Year is exactly like the Old Year: no action no service no information and, no Post Office. Well, the old-timers always told us that everything evens out – too little one year and too much the next – but, on the average, it’s about where it has been. The snow total for the current winter, 2021-2022, already exceeds the 28” snow total for the entire winter of 2020-2021, and we’re not even one-third of the way through it, yet.
The temperature on the morning of Saturday, January 1, was 22 degrees below Zero in Rutland, the perfect temperature for cooling a Bloody Mary at The Lariat on the morning after the night before. Coronavirus infections the crime rate and, inflation are all up, too, but decrepit old 2021, even though he is now long gone, still gets the blame for that disagreeable trio. So far, in its first week, 2022 is doing all right: the stock market is up unemployment is down and, wages are up. Poor old 2021, all beat up, bruised, broken and scarred, departed at the same instant, giving the New Year a clean slate to work with, at least for a couple of minutes. The New Year, pure, pristine and untouched, was dropped on the front porch like a block of ice precisely at the instant that the clock and the calendar changed from December 31 to January 1.
