EWELL, MD - AUGUST 22: A miniature mailbox sits on the counter of the Ewell Post Office on August 22, 2011 in Ewell, Smith Island, Maryland. The U.S. Post Office (USPS) has cited a projected shortfall for 2011 of $8.3 billion, and the use of the Internet for pay bills and sending emails, for placing the post office in Ewell on a list of 3200 post offices around the country that could be slated for closure. The USPS is a quasi-government run agency that receives no federal money and relies on postage to be self-funding. (Photo by Mark Wilson/Getty Images)
