Mail...

I just read that the United States Postal Service has increased the price of a first class postage stamp to $0.41 today. That sucks.
Yes, in this day and age, most "mail" communication happens via e-mail. And yes, most bills are paid electronically. And I'm assuming that a decrease in overall paper mail volume increases the individual price of mailing a single letter, but it still sucks to pay 41 cents to mail a letter. And why 41? They couldn't make it an even 40?
Ah well... pass the beer nuts...
