Thanks for the Magazines, Ben

I’d like to thank my friends for signing me up for Opera News and Baby Talk. I am thoroughly enjoying both magazines, and am finding the multiple copies useful as it allows me to keep one in the bathroom and one in the living room making my reading experience nearly seamless. Coincidentally, I was planning on taking up Opera in my spare time and am sure I’ll have a baby some day.

Going Postal

The term “going postal” originated in Edmond, Oklahoma on August 20, 1986 when a disgruntled postman named Patrick killed 14 fellow employees and wounded six more. Other significant post office shooting incidents have occurred in Michigan and California, and a total of 35 people have been killed in 11 incidents since 1983.

The first mention of the term, “going postal,” occurred in the St. Petersburg Times.

From what I hear, Edmond is a quaint town with a few good bars and decent Mexican food. Just be sure to stick to email for correspondence purposes.
