Here's an interesting news item. I wonder if the bottles will become a collectible and/or what (if any) US Postal Service markings may be on the test delivery.

...and they are going to be delivered on a Sunday!

I'll check to see if I have any friends in those Zip codes as they are all Minneapolis suburbs and I'm in St Paul suburbs.

I suppose I can understand the need for such "tests" but it certainly puts a wrench in the idea of the published announcement coinciding with "Earth Day", yet recipients are told to just recycle the piece (essentially an empty pill bottle) after they receive it.

Generating 37,000 pieces of junk pill bottles doesn't sound like much of a USPS "Go Green" initiative!

Sort of scary actually. Do they know something we don't about an impending biological attack or something? I'd like to have one of those.
