Off to the Postal Museum

By pure chance today was the unveiling of Marvin Gaye's  postage stamp. First off there was a line at the security check, which is unusual for the postal Museum. Secondly the whole first floor was chock-full of people doing various things and they had a DJ and people were moving and shaking their things. We grooved to some Marvin Gaye tunes and then went downstairs. Downstairs we saw three airplanes one train car for different trucks mail trucks and ATVs, several plastic horses that all represented the ways that the mail has been delivered in the past. There was a section that discussed Ted Kaczynski, once again! He certainly has a lot of representation here in DC.  They also had a display of the trail from New York to Boston back in colonial times when the first postal service was created.

Yeah it's Marvin Gaye's stamp day!

Getting your groove on

Cooper spine is no longer under his control

Intro to the postal Museum

Cooper is petting Owney. Owney was the most famous and most traveled dog in the late 1800s. You should definitely look up his information.

A carriage is yet another way of delivering the mail

Riding shotgun in the big rig

Various badges for postal workers

Nice Satchel in case anybody is wondering what I want for Christmas

Cooper is sorting mail

He is definitely not concerned about any fragile items inside the mail

It's interesting that the kingsroad ended up being US1 after all those two hundred years

Not only the dream of immigrants but pretty much how I dream about America

The mannequins were little creepy so he could barely stay inside that carriage

If you look closely you can see the hook that they used to grab the mail pouch from below the plane

Yeah U-da-bomber

This is the Postal Inspector crew that was there to apprehend of the Unabomber Ted Kaczynski
