Stamp, Stamp

 Pretty much the only time I use U.S. Postage Stamps to mail anything is when I send Birthday Cards to the 5 youngest grandkids. And because those cards end up being overweight, exceeding 1 ounce, I just pay the going price at the P.O. window. Today's card was not very heavy, so in addition to the regular stamp,  I added another: Horrors---not a Forever Stamp. The card turned out to weigh just one ounce, or maybe a hair over, so it required additional postage. 

  The clerk could not tell how much the rogue stamp was worth---sorry, can't help with that. However, the man next in line said he could help. And he used his phone to quickly find out that the stamp in question has a value of 21 Cents. Good to know since I have a sheet of them, from 2007, I think he said. 

Unfortunately that man does not work for the USPS.  Maybe they could use him as a consultant.   (I figure it will now take 4 of those .21 stamps to cover the cost of a single regular weight letter, which I learned today is 66 Cents.
