09-11-2026 - Today, I received a very nice, sharp, and colorful mailing from one of our popular online advertising website publisher/webmasters. The material was professionally designed and printed, and it promoted various products and services of interest to Mail Order Dealers. I don’t have any ads from the various online ad publishers because I currently don’t allow external links. However, email me, and I’ll send you my short list of these sites. They all have very reasonable rates and allow graphic and scanned ads.
09-11-2026 - From the U.S. Department of Justice - Jamaican National Sentenced to Over 9½ Years in Prison for Illegally Reentering the U.S. - Will Serve Concurrent 7½-Year Sentence for Bribing Postal Carrier to Deliver Marijuana - PHILADELPHIA – United States Attorney David Metcalf announced that DeWhite Dawkins, aka Dwight Dawkins, “Twin White,” and Kaleem Fraites, 42, a Jamaican national who has been unlawfully residing in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, was sentenced this afternoon to 115 months in prison by United States District Judge Timothy J. Savage for illegally reentering the U.S. after the defendant’s 2023 deportation. At a separate sentencing hearing this morning, Dawkins was sentenced to 92 months in prison by United States District Judge Kai N. Scott for bribing a postal carrier to deliver packages of marijuana. The sentences will run concurrently, and after completing them, Dawkins will be removed from the U.S. once again. As detailed in court filings and statements, for more than a year, Dawkins, a marijuana dealer, paid a United States Postal Service carrier substantial bribes to deliver Priority Mail packages that contained marijuana to him and an associate. He admitted that, in exchange for the bribes, the carrier delivered some 15 parcels containing approximately 237 pounds of marijuana in total, which were shipped from California to addresses on the postal carrier’s route in Levittown, Pennsylvania. The marijuana in the 15 parcels was valued at approximately $450,000. The illegal reentry case was investigated by Immigration and Customs Enforcement and prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Josh Davison. The bribery case was investigated by the U.S. Postal Service Office of Inspector General, with assistance from Homeland Security Investigations and the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General, and prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Terri A. Marinari.

09-11-2026 - The most famous Amateur (ham) Radio operator I ever contacted was Roy Neal, K6DUE (Silent Key*), an NBC News correspondent. The most famous ham I ever saw was King Hussein of Jordan, JY1 (Silent Key*), as he departed the Letterman Army Medical Center at the Presidio of San Francisco in 1976. My most interesting contact was with a Naval aviator in an FA/18 Hornet - on 146.520 MHz FM simplex - as he passed over North Texas, headed to the Houston area. I jotted down his call sign somewhere. I don't usually log VHF contacts. He said he was using the aircraft radio. *Deceased. Speaking of Amateur (ham) Radio, take a look at the "Chinglish" on the base of the charging stand of a Baofeng UV-5R handheld radio. Don't make the chareto mistake!

09-10-2026 - Good Morning! It's Thursday, and we finally have a chance of rain today and tonight. I'll believe it when I see it. Other than waiting for that rain, I have nothing on my schedule. I remain behind on my Amateur (ham) Radio Morse code contacts. I'll probably listen to some code rather than trying to make a contact. I don't want that skill to fade away. Today is World Suicide Prevention Day, National School Picture Day, National Port Wine Day, National TV Dinner Day, Toronto International Film Festival, Know Your Numbers Week, Bunks Across America, National Anti-Junk Light Day, and National Swap Ideas Day.

09-09-2026 - I saw an ad: "How To Get 1 Million People To Send You $50 Cash". By my way of thinking, it is fair to assume that this person has made $50 million and wants to show me how to do it. But why? Why not just keep getting those $50 gifts? Why let me in on the deal? Better yet, why isn't this person enjoying a cool beverage on an exotic island somewhere instead of stuffing envelopes? Hmmm. This is probably one of those "paper passing" deals, preying on the naivety of new dealers, where all you get it a copy of the same ad with instructions to publish it under your name.
