One of the Biden administration new initiatives for the US Postal Service

As we continue our exclusive reporting on the plans of the Administration of President Joseph (Joe) Biden, Nuacht Aoir has learned – exclusively – that the President will use Labor Day as the time he will announce two initiatives to create new jobs for Federal workers.

The first initiative will allow the United States Postal Service (USPS) to provide a service where postal workers will read your mail and then text the contents to you. To introduce the new service, the first 10 texts will be free. After that, each text will be billed at 50 cents each with each photo billed at $1.00 each.

Easter Bunny Visiting Southwest New Mexicoeaster bunny honey grove chamber of commerce 45The Easter Bunny is seen here in Honey Grove in the Red River Valley of Texas on his way to Southwest New Mexico. (The photograph was provided courtesy of the Honey Grove Chamber of Commerce.)

Nuacht Aoir has learned – exclusively – that the Easter Bunny is visiting Southwest New Mexico. While staying with friends in the Red River Valley of Texas, the Easter Bunny initially declined to confirm his annual visit to the Gila.

But through dogged investigation, Nuacht Aoir found a number of tell-tale signs that the Easter Bunny is here: A local lodging establishment with very special requests from a confidential guest. A bunny that hops faster than any other bunny seen by Nuacht Aoir. And twinkles in the eyes of children in Silver City and Lordsburg as they smile when asked if they have seen the Easter Bunny.

"We do have a special guest visiting Casitas de Gila this week," said Becky and Michael O'Connor, owners of Casitas de Gila; these guesthouses are located in Gila in northwest Grant County. "Because of customer confidentiality, of course, we cannot confirm the identity of our special guest."

(This photograph was provided courtesy of the Mountain-Prairie Region of the U S Fish & Wildlife Service through the National Park Service, December 10, 2010.)

Continuing our exclusive reporting on the plans of the Administration of President Joseph Biden, Nuacht Aoir has learned – exclusively – that wolverines are about to be "re-introduced" to the wilds of Catron County. After these new residents get acclimated to communities in that county, wolverines are then scheduled to be "re-introduced" to Grant and Hidalgo Counties.

According to a statement from the U S Fish & Wildlife Service, adult male North American wolverines each weigh 26 to 40 pounds, while adult female North American wolverines weigh 17 to 26 pounds each.

"It resembles a small bear with a bushy tail," noted this statement from the Federal agency. "It has a round, broad head; short, rounded ears; and small eyes. There are five toes on each foot, with curved and semiretractile claws used for digging and climbing..."

The Federal agency reported that wolverines are currently living in the wild in California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming.
