I'm going to try some changes for 2026, among them: mailing in a square envelope -- the postal clerk said that was a way around the high surcharge when using a rectangular envelope as the USPS now calculates the long side of the rectangle as the size of the mailpiece. Perhaps a stationer offers a box of such square envelopes, which would not require a lot of cellophane tape which, as I understand postal regulations, is a no-no or at least a reason to reject and return the envelope.

The trick seems to be to keep the envelope as thin as possible which means casinos need to make thinner chips.

Santa Claus wishes everyone a happy holiday! He's up there right now, spilling envelopes as he goes.
