always something


This is a birthday card that playsLouis Armstrong's What a Wonderful World. Sent to the SR editor
by John and Cindy Helt. They even had the foresight that he might want to share the card with another birthday celebrator later, so they signed it with a removeable stick-on note.
But unintentionally, the Helts gave the News a moral dilemma. The stamps were not cancelled by the US Postal Dep't. So two vexing questions come to mind:
1. Was this the act of a disgruntled postal employee, and does the editor have the responsibity as a loyal US citizen to report this act of either flamboyancy - or, much worse, sabotage?
and
2. Does the raccoonteur have the duty to go down and have these stamps cancelled? What Would a
Jackaroon Do?
I shall leave it to the readers of the Sewer Raccoon News.
