I suppose there's a few more with higher birth rates.

A minor thing that bothers me is missing context.  Is this an extension of what you were saying in the NHL thread or something else?

Both. Y'all need to let other countries exist sometimes, it would be great.

Mexico comes to mind as being higher on the birthrate scale.  Apparently, the birthrate is 15.19 per 1,000 in Mexico versus 10.55 for the U.S.  9.00 is surprisingly low with Canada.

Y'all?  All this over the Canadians losing a semifinal series that they were getting blown out in?  What is the "other" in "both?"

Speaking for myself, I think that I talk about and visit Mexico more than any other poster on the forum besides Kyle.  Jayhawkco is talking a lot of about international travel in areas I've never even considered visiting.  Off forum there is a bunch of hobby regulars who have been in Europe recently.

Given that America is in fact the only country in the world, I'm not sure what we're arguing about.

Right now? The USPS.

So later this year, the very well-liked and very reliable postal carrier for my neighborhood is going to be retiring. As such, now was the perfect time for the USPS to reassign him to a different route. Unfortunately, none of the other postal carriers at the local post office branch have bid to take-over his old route, so they've seemingly temporarily assigned someone to do it as they can. Unsurprisingly, this has lead to issues with people not getting their mail delivered or picked-up for the past week or so. Apparently some neighbors have reported their mail being picked-up/delivered only a couple of times this past week, rather than every day (except Sundays) like it's supposed to. Unfortunately, this is especially annoying for me at the moment, as I'm currently waiting on a new camcorder that I had order that the USPS is supposed to deliver. :banghead:

I also collect traffic lights, road signs, fans, and railroad crossing equipment.
