opened the mailbox in the lobby of his apartment building and began pulling out
the day’s mail. Cable TV bill, electric bill, advertising flyers. And a
buff-colored card from the USPS saying he had an item with $1 postage due,
which could be collected from the local post office. He glanced at his watch,
knowing the Post Office had already closed at 5:00. He debated waiting until
next Saturday, but his interest was piqued – what could he have received
postage due?
