If you are seeing white flowers blooming along roadsides, forest edges and fence rows right now, take a closer look. You may be looking at a species of invasive privet or honeysuckle.

Invasive privet and honeysuckle species were introduced from Asia in the 1800s and have spread aggressively across the state ever since. They grow fast, leaf out early and form dense thickets that block sunlight from reaching the forest floor.

Over time, this shades out the native plants, wildflowers and tree seedlings that wildlife and ecosystems depend on.

The good news is that you can help. Spring flowering season is one of the easiest times to spot these plants before they set seed and spread further. Removal involves consistently cutting stems and treating stumps with herbicide over several seasons.

The Iran war just showed up in your mailbox.

Starting April 26th USPS is imposing an 8% fuel surcharge on package shipments. Priority Mail. Priority Mail Express. USPS Ground Advantage. Parcel Select. All of them.

And here's the part worth paying attention to.

This is the FIRST time in the entire history of the United States Postal Service that they have ever charged a fuel surcharge. In over 250 years of operation. Never once. Until now.

Diesel prices have surged to $5.37 per gallon, up 51% from last year. Gas prices are approaching $4 a gallon after jumping nearly $1 in less than a month. Nearly every USPS delivery van runs on gasoline. Every long haul truck runs on diesel. The math stopped working.

Here's what this actually costs you in real dollars.

An 8% surcharge adds roughly $1 to $2.50 per package depending on size. That doesn't sound catastrophic for an individual consumer. But if you run a small business, sell on Etsy or eBay, or ship products regularly, this hits your margins immediately and directly.

For context, FedEx and UPS have had fuel surcharges for years. Theirs are currently running between 25% and 34%. So USPS at 8% is still dramatically cheaper even with the surcharge.

The fee is temporary, set to expire January 17th 2027, assuming fuel markets stabilize.

But here's the bigger picture nobody is talking about.

USPS already told Congress they'll run out of cash within a year. They lost $9 billion last year. And now a war driving oil prices higher just punched a new hole in a budget that was already taking on water.

The surcharge buys them a little breathing room. It doesn't fix the underlying problem.
