This reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where Kramer decides he’s not going to accept the US postal service anymore so he bricks up his mailbox. So this person is refusing to accept the Yellow Book. But like Kramer, I think they are fighting a war they can not possibly win.

A small one but a nice one. This one was recommended by a reader. I was actually more taken with that mint lawn. I don’t think my lawn has seen a real blade of grass in at least four years or so.
