US Postal Service
For visas, Express Mail is trackable. Where in the world is my passport? I can log in and find out. And delivery by noon the next day. Kinda cool, for $13.65.
The postal worker helping me has worked there for 29 years. That's a hell of a long time, and he didn't look that old. Somehow that piece of information led to me learning that his father changed jobs a lot, there's a trust fund in the family, etc.
Gomez tells me I'm a qualitative researcher to the core, but I do not concur in general. I do, however, about interviewing and how people will tell me just about anything. They'll tell just about anybody just about anything, but I actually find it interesting and listen usually.
Mail to Ghana - very expensive!! But, I think with the M-bag, at $1 a pound approximately, I can afford to mail a bunch of books. If I can get donations of books for the Learning Center at Buduburam, then I'll front the postage. That's off to a great start - Karen at Sierra has books to give me, plus offered $100 from Scholastic books. Thanks, Karen!! I emailed the principal at Sierra and asked if I can put a general announcement in the bulletin about it - Sierra people are generous folks. Even if people just put in a few dollars, I'd be able to get quite a few books from Scholastic and other such places. And of course no pressure - I'll be able to round up probably enough (need 200 for the M-bag).
