Dear Editor:
I remember when all you needed to open your mail was a letter opener.
Now it’s “Fold here and tear,” “Tear side flaps first,” “Slide your finger under this flap to open,” — Ouch! Well, it’s only a paper cut, didn’t bleed much.
And when you do get the mail open, it’s usually bills, or some outfit wanting a contribution for the Preservation of Hissing Cockroaches, or something similar. Hardly ever a real letter any more. It’s e-mail or the phone for messages, not the same thing at all.
It’s no fun opening your mail any more!
