Many years ago, while stationed at an Army post in Germany, my dear sweet
mother baked a large batch of X-Mas cookies and entrusted them to my father
for mailing. He, always a bit tight with his cash, sent them "surface" rather
than pay the additional postage for airmail. They arrived, as I recall, in the
month of February--tasting a bit salty, and hard as bricks. Surface, it
seems, was the slowest boat the US Postal Service could hire. It still is!

This does not pertain to magazines, but we mailed a large package to our
daughter in London. We didn't send it first class due to an extra $45.00
cost. Then 911 happened, and she still hasn't received it, and maybe never
will.
