Living under a rock

I really feel like I have been living under a rock. Or maybe I was just trying to escape all of the presidential/vice presidential debates and news. I found out yesterday that postage was raised one penny. And not only that but it was raised back in May. Really. Could it have been that long since I mailed out a letter? No it hasn't been so either someone turned their head and forwarded my mail or they just didn't notice. I think it may be a good idea for me to do a little bit of current event reading every once in a while.
