Your mail carrier in Canada, however, *can* accept cash. Even if it isn't cash, consider a little something as a tip, especially for those out there in the lousy weather and of course for all those who lost wages this year due to intransigent, lying management.
Related: your mail carrier can't accept cash because of ethics rules, but they can accept gift cards and physical items valued up to $20 per gift and $50 in a calendar year.

Last month, @outsidemag.bsky.social sent me to spend 14 hours in a suburban ice rink, learning the stories of everyone I met. Why do they skate? I asked. To feel free, they told me. To feel God. To forget, for a minute, what they've done.

Time for my yearly shoutout to my very excellent former therapist who listened to me complain about how I feel like I get so little done in winter and was like “nature’s resting. Why shouldn’t you?”
