I am surprised more places besides the post office aren't doing it.Freemarketnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35921470.post-60324312301422784712009-07-11T15:21:50.013-04:002009-07-11T15:21:50.013-04:00Is the library/County getting compensated for host...Is the library/County getting compensated for hosting/processing this duplication of services only 2 miles from an existing facility?<br /><br />Putting applicants for (typically) distant tourism into the same queue as library patrons in need of typical library-specific services seems odd. Are we wasting staff time (trained and paid to run a library) to process this unrelated paperwork instead?<br /><br />What's next: "I'm rich, so I should expect any gov employee to drop their specific function and instead give me what I want right now for my exotic vacation, give me a latte while I wait, and make sure it doesn't have too much foam this time"?<br /><br />This seems to fall right in line with <a href="http://writing-the-wrongs.blogspot.com/2006/12/holiday-movie-night-part-one-my-lady.html" rel="nofollow">your proposing reserved, preferred parking for SUVs at the movie theater</a>.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35921470.post-28073335686369393312009-07-11T14:48:33.093-04:002009-07-11T14:48:33.093-04:00Good to hear about the shortcut for passports.

They've rearranged things, and really did a nice job, particularly up top in the lawn and wood waste area. Courteous and helpful staff there, too. It's worth checking out if you're cleaning out your garage or cutting back some brush. Really.Bob Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00890534411595848772noreply@blogger.com
