Back in NYC dealing with mail
I’m back in NYC now dealing with mail. First thoughts returning home? There MUST be a better way to print magazines. I subscribe to two weekly magazines and they took up the vast majority of the space in my mailbox. How long have we been printing magazines in the same format, stapled together? I dont know what the alternative is but it just seems time for innovation.
The NYC government sent me a mailer about how to recycle, I promptly “recycled” it without reading. It was junk mail. If they are going to promote recycling can’t they figure out a better way than mass mailing people on dead trees? Maybe I should have checked to see if it was printed on recycled paper.
The East Village is a great place to live.
How much of my paper mail can I totally eliminate? I thought I converted all of my bank accounts to send electronic statements. But they still send paper confirmations for certain transations.
The music played in Starbucks in the USA is much louder than the music played in Starbucks in Japan. I’m happy to be home.

You might wish to contact Opt-Out. Another option is to call - 1-888-5-OPT-OUT.
I believe it takes 10-12 weeks to remove your name from UBSM (Unsolicited Bulk Snail Mail). The request remains on the books for 5 yrs.

IIRC NYC mailboxes are miniscule. Back then my postal ape used to just drop my magazines on the floor instead of trying to get them into the box. As long as none of my neighbors stole em, I was OK with that.
